Full Description

Terrace. 1902-1905. By Parker and Unwin, for Joseph Rowntree Village Trust. Whitewashed brick with pebbledash to gable ends and pantiles. Direct entry to living room with scullery beyond. 2 storeys, 6 first-floor windows. Small-paned windows throughout. Replacement glazed doors to outer bay of each house with canted bay windows to inner bays. First floor: paired 3-light casements to each gable with pair of 4-pane casements in centre. Stacks removed. The particular significance of New Earswick lies in its contribution to the development of low cost housing in Britain. Experience gained and practices introduced here were incorporated extensively into the Tudor Walters Report of 1918 which was instrumental in the passing of the Addison Act of 1919. Plans from New Earswick influenced the Government Manual on low cost housing which followed the Act.
