Now Linburn Road (name change), looks to be numbers 12 & 14.

Interesting to see the houses around this pair of villas have been built to exactly conform to an old field boundary. I'll bet that Vox would have fun and games fitting carpets in some of those rooms. The aerial view from Google shows the point well.

Not so common nowadays HD but most of our Edwardian terraces were built to cram in as many buildings as possible into the space. Where the streets cross each other at an angle, usually, the end ones have an angled wall to allow the middle properties to be more or less oblong, but sometimes the whole block is built at an angle, so rhomboid shaped rooms are common. Nightmare, especially when there's a patterned carpet involved.

Look at these between Burton St, Bamforth St and Langsett Rd

I take your point Vox, there are some interesting terraced properties towards the bottom of Western Road at Crookes.

They were built alternating with two rooms wide at the front and one at the back and then next door has one room at the front and two at the back. The party walls have two right angled bends in them.

Here then.

Never been in one of those HD, although I've worked in loads on the opposite side of the road.
