Housing diversity (Crofton Lane)
Image: © Ian Capper Taken: 2 Oct 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. Much of Crofton Lane was developed in the interwar lanes (see Image), even though the lane itself is much older. However, according to the 1972 OS map, this short section remained as woodland. It was later developed in the late 1970s/early 1980s (?) at the same time as Buckingham Close, judging from the building style (see Image).
