Burn Row, Radcliffe
 

Does anyone know where Burn Row was? It appears in the census and in a Rural Sanitary report of 1873. This states that Burn Row made up the southern line of the houses, presumably round about where Leslie Row sat?
Later maps seem to have lost it!

I feel certain it will turn out to be the group of back to backs facing the burn at the end of Newburgh Row. The 'back to backs' are the old Radcliffe, aka 'Radcliffe Terrace' - that's the chevron shaped rows in the middle (Long Row) the north south 'Cross Row', and this bunch at the bottom near the burn.

Or that's the way I understand it.

The single terraced houses were later -,That is the single terraces in Newburgh Row, which was joined on to the older group of back to backs near the burn, Leslie Row and Dandsfield Place rows - all built later.

That makes sense. According to the Survey: Houses occupy 3 sides of irregular square. Northernmost is Long Row, eastern side is Cross Row, southern, Burn Row. Western side is open to public road.
