The lower end of Kingshill Road contains a selection of different architectural styles. The main property here is a Victorian villa with a small shop attached whilst to its right is the start of some 1970s infill or backland development. The trees behind mark the line of an old canal. I have been told by a fellow contributor that the property is mid 19th century and in the 1920s was occupied by the family of Edwin Blake, a local builder. At that time the property was named 'Rushey Platt House'.
