Neville's Road - AKA Exhibition Road

So called because at the outset architects were invited to submit designs for houses and innovative techniques for the town. As a result houses here are built in the usual fashion and some on piles sunk into the ground, some from concrete and some with steel laths under the plaster. One resident that I know of in this street has had to shore his house up to prevent it descending towards the railway line (and then presumably off to Cambridge on the front of a train!)
