Dataset from a Level 1 Historic Building Recording Survey at the Airey Houses, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, December 2023

This collection comprises images and a photographic catalogue from the level 1 historic building recording survey at the Airey houses associated with five specific housing estates in Sheffield (Wharncliffe Side, Grenoside, Hackenthorpe, Beighton, and Halfway). This work was undertaken by Ecus Ltd in December 2023. Whilst the Airey houses have no statutory listing, they are non-designated heritage assets. They represent a specific type of housing built after the Second World War, when demand for new houses was high, but the skills and materials required were in short supply. Both types of Airey house (Type 1 and Type 2) were seen at four of the estates. Careful thought went into the layout of these estates and the positioning of the different types of houses to make the best use of the plots available.
