Wardened Retirement Housing dating from 1953, now managed by Broomleigh Housing Association (see also Image). It was named after a Mr J E Brittenden, who with two others had in 1943 submitted a formal plan for a large village, complete with village hall, clinic and library, sports area and schools, with clearly laid out housing within specific bounds to preserve its character. Post war austerity meant that the plans never came to fruition.
