This row of houses (odd numbers 9 to 47) were constructed by builder James Barber of Clinton Lane on land purchased by him from Arthur Street on 21st October 1933 for the sum of £663.12.0. The land had a street frontage of 377 feet and an area of 4124 square yards. The land had previously been allotments for a few years as they are marked as such on an 1920's OS map. James Barber progressed quickly with the construction of the houses as they were being sold by March 1934.
