ReplyDeleteThat would be about the right time, Spinners. Our neighbours in Beech Mount (on the Downshaw estate) moved into a brand new bungalow on the estate- all the roads were called after the Everest expedition- Hunt, Everest, Tensing and so on. Jim Arda and his wife were our neighbours- Jim was a butcher in the inside market.
ReplyDeleteI also remember the green fields being here before this estate was built and would have put it early to mid 1950s. Was the builder Dean and Whipp? I had to pay them rent for my garage off Newmarket Road in the 1960s and 1970s. They were well known local builders.
ReplyDeleteMost of the houses on the Vicarage road estate have had probs with the concrete raft, they built on shale which turned out to be a no no,many people had to have retro work done but the problem still exists,thus lowering to resale value.
