Further
research is required to determine the precise location of
the White Row described in the 1914 report, however it seems
likely that this name was attached to one or more of the rows
that lay between Beechwood Cottages and Uphall Station Rows.
"
White Row consists of 5 two-apartment houses, with scullery
and washhouse, seven houses with kitchen, bed-room, scullery,
and washhouse, also two single ends. The latter nine houses
are of a very poor type. The sewage is removed by open channel.
Ash-pits are emptied weekly. There are five privies of a
deplorable pattern for fourteen families. Water is obtained
from washhouses. Rents are 1/1. and 1/8. per week, inclusive
of local rates."
