c1930s housing (other than the building on the right, which was one of three buildings, Portland Cottages, built in the early 21st Century on the site of a factory called Trimster House). What is unusual about this road is that the original houses were lettered not numbered, with the letters built into the walls of each house in coloured bricks, as can clearly be seen here on the pair of houses in the centre of this photo.
