The estate covers 14½ acres of land
between Park Lane and Franchise Street.
Reclamation of
the site involved the moving of around 70,000 cubic
yards of spoil from pit mounds, and using it to raise
the level of 4½ acres of land by as much as 12 feet for
use as a cemetery.
The estate, which consists of 58
parlour type houses and 138 non-parlour houses, includes
the Borough’s 1,000th municipal house, a B1 parlour
type.
Several shops and licensed premises were built by
private builders. |
