kev21662 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 What can anyone tell me about the Victorian working peoples' dwellings that used to be on Station Road in Kiveton; opposite the Saxon Pub. I think they were demolished in the 1980's. To get to them you had to walk down steps. They looked very Dickensian. When my family lived nearby, I went to school (1970) with a lad called Barry Bull, whose family lived in one of them. Kevin Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuromantic Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 You're right - the houses were accessed from the main road via steps downwards. As I recall they were set quite a way down from the main road. I guess they might have been pit houses ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amadoresblue Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 The terraced houses at Hard Lane were pit houses i.e. built for families of men who worked at the pit and were called Park Terrace, also known as The Old Rows to distinguish them from The Little Rows, Albert Terrace and Victoria Terrace, which were next to the Junior school, and The New Rows, Dawson Terrace and Carrington Terrace on Wales Road, not far from the Methodist Chapel.

You beat me to it amadoresblue [edit - by about a month, I've just noticed the date after searching for Kiveton history threads!] Hope you're well and thanks for the e-mails.
