What era was this house built?

I found an ancestor's address on the census of 1911, I was wondering whether this house would have been rebuilt or whether my ancestor would have been living in this actual house in 1911? Thanks.

Have you enquired with the Local Authority as to whether the street was ever demolished and rebuilt?
Looks pretty old brickwork

It has the wrong door and windows but I would say it could have been there in 1911.

Would you be willing to give the address?

The address is 5 Cowper Street, Middleton, Manchester. Thanks.

Victorian terraces  - yes they would have been there in 1911.

Numbering might have changed though.

They are on the above 1892-1914 map, but not on the 1888-1913 map.

I'm not sure if this link will work, but that row of houses is not there in 1909, though others in the vicinity are:

(that area was undeveloped (no houses were removed to build it) so the one you see today must be the house they lived in - it would have been brand new in 1911)

Agree with Ruskie although I've never been to Manchester but very 'Coronation Street' i.e. building original but moving with the times on windows & door.

Love those old buildings but not as much as the much older type
