Ashfield Cottages—Hopwood Street—1900's

[PhilipG]

I've a hunch you're right anyway. How common were privately built tenements like that back then, do you know?

I don't know, Ged, but I've got a lot of the 1890ish OS maps, so I'll start looking.
The 1863 map is excellent and shows places like the Model Lodging Houses in Northumberland Street, so my guess is there were probably quite a lot by 1890.
