CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE LOCALITY |
Added: 6 Jul 2021 05:38 GMT | Wren Road in the 1950s and 60s Living in Grove Lane I knew Wren Road; my grandfather’s bank, Lloyds, was on the corner; the Scout District had their office in the Congregational Church and the entrance to the back of the Police station with the stables and horses was off it. Now very changed - smile. Reply |
DavidA Added: 11 Aug 2023 13:59 GMT | The British Land Co. ...was set up in 1858 by the National Building Society to own land and split it into plots so the new freeholder could get a vote in elections. So it seems some individual houses were built like in 1869 and maybe the terraces came a bit later, with mortgages from the building society. Maybe the road names were already there ... after judges Sir Thomas Talfourd, Lord Denman and Lord Lyndhurst ... which each got a (former) pub name too Source: British Land - Wikipedia Reply |
