Back in the mid 1960s ( I was in my mid teens)  a neighbour gave me a page of newspaper dated 1933ish which had the advert for the houses which we had just moved to. It was for the Chalet Bungalows on the Marlborough Park Estate, Lamorbey, Sidcup Kent for sale for, I think, £395. It moved with me on a number of occasions but went missing some years ago. I seem to remember the houses were something like. I think it was bought in the 60s for possibly £5000. I think the newspaper was the News Chronicle.
