I note...The Wedlock Homes piece was fascinating. I note on the map they started in 1927 so they weathered the great recession - more than a lot of other builders. I gather they came originally from Barrow in Furness, hence the names of a lot of roads named after places in North Lancashire and Cumberland / the Lake District. I do remember that even as late as the early 1970's they had a small office above one of the shops on the Barnehurst shopping parade - presumably to mop up any outstanding claims or legal disputes. The care with which the houses were graded according to price represented somewhat sophisticated class segmenting when it came to buyers as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
