This cottage was one of the few buildings in St Johns Road when the 1:2500 map was surveyed in 1889. It may be the same cottage shown on the 1840 tithe map, occupied by Thomas PRIDDIS. By 1952 the house is labelled 'Blue Haze' and now it is simply known as 25, St Johns Road. The path beside the cottage was originally the southern end of the lane leading up to Brixington, now Brixington Lane. When Forton Road was built in the 1930s this part of the lane was made into a footpath.
