Streethouse

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Streethouse is a small village to the east of Wakefield, the south of Normanton and the west of Pontefract in West Yorkshire. Formerly a mining village, Streethouse retains a train station on the line between Wakefield and Pontefract and a miners' club. Unemployment and deprivation prompted several locals to leave and there have been periods when much of the housing has been uninhabited. Streethouse suffers from similar problems to Fitzwilliam and Grimethorpe, though on a lesser scale.
