The estate covers an area of 34
acres and contains 26 parlour type houses, and 312
non-parlour houses. Licensed premises and shops were
built, and a large green was provided on the northern
side of Myvod Road next to a number of old people’s
bungalows. It was intended to be a recreational area for
the old people. A bowling green was built on the opposite side of Myvod Road, and 6½ acres of allotments were built
along the northern boundary. The estate, and its
neighbouring estates (Wood Green, Manor Farm, Churchfields, and Fallings Heath)
form an area that contained 1,046 council houses.
On the 24th
April, 1933 Prince George laid the foundation stone of the
town’s 1,500th municipal house, which was built on Park
Lane Estate at the junction of Myvod Road and Prince
George Road, which was named after him. |
