NZ3755 : Kitchener Street, Sunderland
taken 15 years ago, near to South Hylton, Sunderland, England
Kitchener Street, Sunderland
Kitchener Street, in the High Barnes area of Sunderland. The street is flanked by "Sunderland cottages" - these were built as terraces of single-storey homes for skilled workers. Some have had their lofts converted into extra bedrooms.
Sunderland cottages
Sunderland expanded rapidly during the Victorian era, as it became a centre for coal-mining and shipbuilding. To provide housing for workers, streets of terraced bungalows were built and then sold to skilled workers who could afford to buy them. This was a different approach to many other towns and cities, hence this type of housing is called "Sunderland cottages".
