Homes in Pear Tree

Pear Tree was farmland until the 1860s and 1870s, when it was sold for building and streets of terraced houses went up for railway and foundry workers. Much of that original housing is good quality and still standing. Later gaps have been filled with modern homes, including on the site of Ley's Vulcan Iron Works, demolished in 1986, and the old Baseball Ground, demolished in 2004. The Victorian houses tend to have meters in cellars or under the stairs, and older ones may lack main bonding to the water and gas pipes.
