Former married quarters for personnel at RAF Biggin Hill, built in 1929. Some were damaged by bombing in World War II and demolished, although the gaps have recently been filled in a consistent style to the remaining houses, restoring the uniform appearance of the square (presumably as part of the adjacent Leavesden development in around 2007-8). The original buildings are all grade II listed: in this photo are part of nos 21-24 (the nearest block) - see www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1391592, no 28 (the furthest away of the next block, nos 25-27 being a replacement build) - see www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1391593 and nos 29-30 (the first part of the far block, nos 31-32 being a replacement build) - see www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1391595.
