The earliest surviving houses of Kiverton Park which was built around Kiverton Park Colliery first sunk in 1866 (Taylor 2001, 126). A group of much smaller terraced grid iron streets, known as 'The Barracks' are likely to have been older but these were demolished between 1985 and 1999 (See HSY34200. No legibility of the former open field that appears to have remained unenclosed until at least 1851. These houses are built 'back to front' from the conventional arrangement of terraced houses with the 'offshots' facing the street, the main rooms of the house overlooking a central area of gardens.
