I'm sure I remember a pub that used to stand at the corner of Woodridge and Trinity Road until the early '70s, but I can't for the life of me remember the name!Thwhite house in the photo was next door to The Variety Artists Club. All the houses on the upper part of Trinity Road were impressive Victorian villas - in fact my grandmother used to 'do' for a few of them prior to WW1. The new houses mentioned were built around 1971, and the cul-de-sac in which they stand is called Woodridge, and the Variety Artists Club (if it still stands) is on the corner of Woodridge and Trinity Road. I was married in July 1971 and we bought our first house in Woodridge - a 3-bed semi with garage for the princely sum of £3950! Sounds peanuts, but I had a hell of a job to get a mortgage, as many prospective first-time buyers did in those days. We lived there until 1977 when my job moved us to the USA for a few years, and we sold our Woodridge house for a tidy profit.
Right opposite Woodridge on the other side of Trinity Road stood (or stands) a very large detached property which when I was younger was the residence and surgery of Mr E Hemming-Allen, dentist. All of the rooms were massive, and I once caught a glimpse of the well-tended grounds at the rear, and they seemed to go on forever. Mr Hemming-Allen was a lovely man, Australian by birth I think, and had a wonderful gentle 'touch' when fixing teeth! His son Michael took over the practise, but moved out long ago. I do remember the elder Mr H-A drove a Bentley....
I haven't been down that way for years, but I can guess the area isn't what it used to be.

Many thanks for jogging my memory, G. The old memory is not what it was!That was the Variety Artists Club, Alf. It did look a bit like an old pub, and IIRC there might even have been a sign advertising the beer it sold, but I can't be sure of this. I did go in, just the once, but it wasn't really my cup of tea.
