Housing diversity (St Kilda Road)
Image: © Ian Capper Taken: 25 Sep 2008
A series of photos showing the diversity of housing in one gridsquare in outer suburbia. For others in series see http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=1905481. Any further information, such as building dates and what was on the sites before building, would be appreciated. St Kilda Road connects Stanley Road with Broxbourne Road, and presumably to avoid it being used as a cut through has remained unsurfaced. It is shown as a stub in the 1920 OS map leading onto the edge of the golf course where Broxbourne Road and the other roads higher up the Knoll now stand, but no houses are shown on it, suggesting initial development in the interwar years. It now contains 10 houses in all, some from that period, some more recent, and all are of different styles. This Italianate villa is the most striking.
