Description
Nos 3, 4, 5, and 6 Western Terrace is a terrace of houses built between 1902 and 1905 by Parker and Unwin for the Joseph Rowntree Village Trust. The houses are constructed of whitewashed brick with pebbledash on the gable ends and feature pantiles. Each house has a direct entry to the living room, with a scullery located beyond. The terrace is two storeys high and has six first-floor windows, all with small-paned designs. Each house has replacement glazed doors to the outer bay and canted bay windows in the inner bays. On the first floor, there are paired three-light casements on each gable, with a pair of four-pane casements in the centre. The chimney stacks have been removed. The significance of New Earswick lies in its role in the development of low-cost housing in Britain. The experiences and practices established here were influential in the Tudor Walters Report of 1918, which contributed to the passing of the Addison Act of 1919. Plans from New Earswick also shaped the Government Manual on low-cost housing that followed the Act.
