North End |
By 1939, a further 100 houses were built, with more after the war. Pre-war builds included Housing Schemes 3, 4, and 5: North End Housing Scheme No. 3 planned during 1932, with a tender out for 36 three bedroom houses being won by J.C. Wallis[2][3][4]. Another 56 houses were out to tender in June 1938 as schemes 4 and 5, which cost £22,420 with the contract going to E.J.G. Morgan at a cost of £13,236. The other costs for sheds, architects' fees, a Clerk of Works, etc[5].
In the 1960s, this development was extended by Maurice J. Morley & Company, who created Northfields, Braemor Road, and Corfe Crescent as part of their Northend Building Estate.
