When the Sudbury Court estate was laid out in the early 1930's, it was intended that Carlton Avenue West (where the photographer is standing) should be connected to Carlton Avenue East by a bridge over the LMS railway. Accordingly a gap was left in the houses along Nathans Road to allow for the bridge. But before the bridge could be constructed, World War II intervened, and after the war, the site remained vacant and the idea of the bridge was abandoned. Recently, however, two new semi-detached houses (right) were erected to fill the gap - in the same style as those built some 70 years earlier (seen to the left)
