Longest terrace house row in Sheffield?

[Obelix]

They never were joined-up, the flats were built on the old allotments and the grounds to four old terraced houses. Nothing has been demolished.

 

As I said I've not been there for a long time - I went past once when they were building the new and they said it was to go all the way down the road and they were replacing all the terrace. Glad it didn't happen, I never saw much wrong with those houses - I have fond memories of my time as a student in them.

Stab in the dark. Ellerton Road at Page Hall area. From bottom to top on the RH side. No idea how many houses though but would guess near 70

 

 

Im wrong, 4 to 96 (Thanks Google Earth)

 

There is another near there which would be longer than Stannington View perhaps that goes from the end of Bagley street but I think that all that row was due to be demolished.

Are we talking about the longest in terms of number of houses? Or the longest in terms of physical length?

 

I was thinking longest in physical length, but I'm curious about both now you've mentioned it.

There's some really long onss in Woodseats too

[Athmiester]

Woodseats road ?

Shoreham Street?

Which road in Sheffield has the longest terrace house row?

 

I don't know the answer, but it's good to see this sort of thread instead of some of the usual rubbish.

It ought to be in the history/expats section. The steepest hill in Sheffield thread on there is 40 odd pages long.

I think also you need to define "terrace" as well... and if ginnels are permitted..

 

Staniforth view Road is 298m from end to end. But... I can find one in Firth Park that's longer - if you go down Bolsover street to Firth Park road then up Idsworth street that's 400m and is a continuous block, bar a couple of ginnels. But it's not all a single terrace to my mind.

 

So I'd define "terrace" first... to me a terrace has the following properties..

 

1. All built from the same material - so the same colour and type of brick/stone/block

 

2. Built as one unit at the same time to the same design (excepting the end houses which will be different from the centre)

 

3. It must have a continuous roofline. If you have a garage block separating two housing blocks to my mind that's two terrances.

 

4. Ginnels do not interrupt the terrace line provided that... a) the roofline on each side is substantivly at the same height, and b) you cannot reasonably expect to see anything other than foot traffic passing up and down them.

 

5. It should be built as private dwellings, self contained houses, maisonettes, or flats with no more than two stories (otherwise Park Hill just wins hands down...)

 

With that, I think that SVR wins hands down, and I cannot find anything close.

south view road?

[Plain Talker]

south view road?

 

No, the longer side, where I lived, is broken up by Rampton Road, which runs between SVR, and Albany Road, and, if I remember rightly, there is a gennel that runs through about halfway down, so it isn't a continuous run.
