Homes in Osmaston

Osmaston is largely inter-war housing, alongside older terraces. In 2003 the area had a Housing Improvement Zone aimed at older privately owned terraced houses, which brought 20 empty homes back into use and helped 93 families on low incomes with repairs. Osmaston Hall itself was pulled down in 1938 to make way for an industrial estate. In inter-war houses we often find a mix of wiring from different decades, an old metal-clad switch beside the board feeding a single circuit, and lighting circuits that have no earth wire.
