Terraced Housing Clearance Areas

Terraced Housing Clearance Areas
© SYAS

This zone is located predominantly on the north western edge of Sheffield city centre.  The landscape is characterised by large areas cleared of 19th century terraced housing during the middle to late 20th century.  Most of these areas feature large amounts of late 20th century municipal housing, often system built estates constructed in materials new in the 1950s and 60s, but from the mid 1970s onwards more traditional estates of low rise housing have been more common developments.  There are however many 19th century street patterns, institutional buildings, public houses and some housing surviving throughout these areas.
