gone but not forgotten
These old photos are dated 1941. All the houses in the area were rented from the 1st National Housing Trust, who managed their properties in a fairly strict manner. The White House was the 'Estate Office' which tenants visited when they were late with the rent etc.
In the other old photo, the object on the traffic island is a water tank which the fire brigade could use when dealing with fires caused by enemy bombing at that time. In the distance is Scarsdale Rd hill, and in winter we use to sledge down it and whizz straight across the dual carriageway.
