Terrace
In architecture and city planning, a terrace or terraced house is a form of medium-density housing that originated in Europe in the 16th century, whereby a row of attached dwellings share side walls.
Terrace housing can be found throughout the world, though it is in abundance in Europe and Latin America, and extensive examples can be found in the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, and Australia. The Place des Vosges in Paris (1605–1612) is one of the early examples of the style. Sometimes associated with the working class, historical and reproduction terraces have increasingly become part of the process of gentrification in certain inner-city areas.
The first streets of houses with uniform fronts were built by the Huguenot entrepreneur Nicholas Barbon in the rebuilding after the Great Fire of London. It is far from being the case that terraced houses were only built for people of limited means. This is especially true in London, where some of the wealthiest people in the country owned them in locations such as Belgrave Square and Carlton House Terrace.
By the early Victorian period, a terrace had come to designate any style of housing where individual houses repeating one design are joined together into rows. The style was used for workers' housing in industrial districts during the rapid urbanisation following the industrial revolution, particularly in the houses built for workers of the expanding textile industry. The terrace style spread widely across the country, and was the usual form of high-density residential housing up to World War II. The 19th century need for expressive individuality inspired variation of façade details and floor-plans reversed with those of each neighbouring pair, to offer variety within the standardised format.
Since the Second World War, housing redevelopment has led to many outdated or dilapidated terraces being cleared to make room for tower blocks, which occupy a much smaller area of land. Because of this land use in the inner city areas could in theory have been used to create greater accessibility, employment or recreational or leisure centres. However, sub-optimal or flawed implementation has meant that in many areas the tower blocks offered no real improvement for rehoused residents over their prior terraced houses.
Even into the late 1950s the houses seen here did not have bathrooms and had outside toilets.
This terrace is in Southend Road in Basingstoke in the South East region of England. The postcode is within the Brookvale and Kings Furlong ward/electoral division, which is in the constituency of Basingstoke.
Southend Road measures approximately 166 metres long. The average house in Southend Road sells for £275,750.00. There are 21 other streets named Southend Road in Great Britain.
The average elevation of Southend Road is roughly 82.38 metres above sea level. with the highest point being 83.10 and the lowest point being 81.40. A change of 1.70 metres.
Southend Road is located within the county of Hampshire which is in the South East (England) region of the UK. 45.66 miles West from the centre of London, 0.64 miles West from the centre of Basingstoke, 14.15 miles South from the centre of Reading and 16.96 miles North East from the centre of Winchester.
