Is it in the Rhubarb Triangle?
Not anymore but in the 50's when the houses were built it's a distinct possibility.
The Rhubarb Triangle is a 9-square-mile (23 km2) triangle in West Yorkshire, England between Wakefield, Morley and Rothwell famous for producing early forced rhubarb. It includes Kirkhamgate, East Ardsley, Stanley, Lofthouse and Carlton.[1] The Rhubarb Triangle was originally much bigger, covering an area between Leeds, Bradford and Wakefield.[2] From the first decade of the 20th century to 1939 the rhubarb industry expanded and at its peak covered an area of about 30 square miles (78 km2).[3]

According to my 80 year old neighbour (who has lived on the street forever...) the new estate behind me used to be all forced rhubarb huts.
