Radlett: Flint Cottages

Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 15 Apr 2009

Prior to the Midland Railway arriving in Radlett and building the station in the 1860s, the settlement was nothing more than a few buildings serving the local estates of the landed gentry. These fine flint and brick cottages date from 1852 and so pre-date the railway. They were built by the Phillimore family, presumably to house estate workers. Now they are used by several small commercial concerns, one of which just happens to be a photographer's studio. So, Click Studios, here's your free publicity http://www.theclickstudios.co.uk/ The family portrait will do very nicely, thank you! This image was taken from more or less the place where the lady in the brown coat can be seen to the right in Image
