Kelvin Parade, Crofton
This was presumably once a typical arcade of local shops, in the midst of an area of semis and bungalows built between the two world wars - the street map shows a post office, for example. Now it contains a carpet shop, a plumbing supplier, a fireplace shop and a hire shop - great for local building contractors, but the residents in the area will need to go elsewhere for their basic needs.

Housing diversity (Andover Road)
A series of photos showing the diversity of housing in one gridsquare in outer suburbia. For others in series see http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=1905481. Any further information, such as building dates and what was on the sites before building, would be appreciated. These semis are in Andover Road, to the west of the railway. Looking at the 1940 1 inch map at http://www.npemap.org.uk/tiles/map.html#546,166,1, these particular houses were already built by then, but what appears on the ground to be a similar development behind Andover Road, in Cathcart Drive, is still blank, with Andover Road itself only being partly developed. Unless the map was not fully up to date, this suggests that building either continued through the early part of the war, or even immediately post war, using similar “off the shelf” designs.

Housing diversity (Cathcart Drive)
A series of photos showing the diversity of housing in one gridsquare in outer suburbia. For others in series see http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=1905481. Any further information, such as building dates and what was on the sites before building, would be appreciated. This is Cathcart Drive, built immediately post war close to the railway (the cutting for which is marked by the line of trees in the background). The shape of the site gave room for two pleasant triangular greens, of which this is one (see Image for the other).
