House adverts 1933
« on: Friday 09 January 09 15:01 UTC (UK) »
I have a book London and Suburbs with adverts for new housing being built in 1933. Maybe your family home is listed.

Here is a very small sample:

I will be happy to do look ups.

My grandparents bought a new-build semi-detached house in Eden Way, Beckenham, Kent in 1933-4.  Any chance that development is referred to? (I don't know whether than might be too far out to count as a suburb...).

Just remembered, my great-grandparents also moved to Beckenham at around the same time - Links Way - though I don't know whether that was a new development.

Thanks in advance

My grandparents bought a house in Orpington, well Petts Wood actually, about that time and they paid about £495 for it.  The last one to sell in the street in 2007 went for £415,000

Still wages have gone up a bit

Hi,

What a lovely offer; anything for the Hayes, Middlesex area? Or Ruislip?

Thanks,

If anyone is interested please ask now - I'm sure the mods will remove this due to the space it is taking.

Still we can do e-mail if they do.

Oh............. Ruislip brings back lots of memories    Smiley  but sadly it's the wrong Hayes.  Mine's the one in Middlesex not Kent.


Thanks for looking,
