Some 40 years separate the building of these two bungalows. Their ages are given away by the treatment of the eaves under the roof. he further one has wooden soffits typical of the middle to late 20th century, the newer nearer one has brick detailing and concealed soffits which are typical of the turn of the millennium.

A narrow path from the end of Gladstone Street through to Christopher's lane.

North Road was once fields but developed during the late 19th and early 20th centuries when the houses were highly sought after and now a mix of period and modern properties are competing in popularity with the new residential estates that are springing up in the quieter areas of town.

Built in the 1960s, the style and materials give away the builder. This is a stand-alone house by Parker Bros., independent of their work on housing estates in the west of the town. The concrete guttering with concealed downpipes, the porch with the steel pole leg, and the offset garage are typical. The tall window in the stairwell is characteristic of their higher-value houses too. This is a nice house in a quiet location. It must have been remarkably special when it was built.

This bungalow was built sometime in the 1990s on the site of an older and smaller one.

Pretty Victorian semi-detached with large 20th century extension.
