Dacre Villas and Dacre Gardens
Image: © Simon Carey Taken: 7 Dec 2008
Built as company housing for the nearby cement works. Dacre Villas was completed in 1903 whilst the longer row of Dacre Gardens were built between 1896 and 1909. I like to the think that perhaps the works foremen occupied Dacre Villas whilst the workers lived in Dacre Gardens.
