 Pearson Street: a short dead end cinder covered street of two up and two down terraced houses. All had cold water, outside toilets and no bathrooms. Each house being heated by open coal fires, many still had gas lighting as was the case with the street lamps which were set on a tall ornate wrought iron posts which were lit each evening by lamp lighters. Children would often be seen gathering at the bottom of the street from where they could watch the express steam trains passing along the Manchester-Sheffield Line

| Johnson Brook: old water course formed on the hill overlooking the districts of Shaw Hall and Yew Tree. Provided the power to many local mills, it gouged a valley off Newton Moor and down to Newton Wood before entering the River Tame. Later industrial development diverted the brook to become a feeder to the Peak Forrest Canal. The valley of the lower reaches, beyond the canal, was later used as the local corporation refuse tip.
