West Road After 1906

A view of the houses on the south side of West Road, built by Charles Hebditch after building the Congregational Church in 1906. Bryan Richardson tells us: ”The last house on the row was built in 1911. It was lived in by the Dodds family before they moved to the top of West Park Avenue. My Grandfather bought it for £750 in 1942 after leaving Kilton Mill. It remained in our family until April 2011.” Malcolm Watson has told us: ” The first house ( nearest the camera ) was probably Durban House, which was where Jane Harrison (nee Durban) lived in 1911 after the death of her husband Thomas Harrison in 1910. Thomas Harrison was the son of my great-great grandfather. He had a hardware shop in Loftus High St.”

Thanks to Bryan Richardson and Malcolm Watson for those updates.
