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. This is Irene Road, built off Keswick Road in the second phase of development of the Knoll/Broom Hill area, first appearing on maps in 1930. The footpath to the left of the house is one of a number of such paths in the area that predate its development for housing.
