I am sure that is correct as many little ...Hi Mary,<br />I am sure that is correct as many little stretches of terraced houses had names before streets were fully numbered. However those houses are on the 1904 map of the area and the almshouses I was researching were not built until after 1926.<br />So there were two Oaks Terraces and one really was a terrace!<br />Thanks Mary!<br />xBarnsleyHistorianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17706725823398288376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1174929485671993677.post-6478998637531722262015-03-21T20:35:59.121+00:002015-03-21T20:35:59.121+00:00I am fairly sure that Oaks Terrace was on Doncaste...I am fairly sure that Oaks Terrace was on Doncaster Road, Measboro' Dyke, Barnsley the last house being at the top of Vaal Street.<br />This last house was turned into a fish and chip shop for a few years, then it was reverted back into a dwelling. I had a school friend whom I visited and I am as sure as I can be that the address was Oaks Terrace, Doncaster Road. Downings a steel factory was behind the right hand side of Vaal Street (walking down), the offices faced on to Doncaster Road.
