Lowestoft, Victoria Villas
« on: Thursday 08 April 21 19:09 BST (UK) »
Hi
Can anyone help with the date these semi detached villas were built any by whom. They front onto victoria terrace and are between victoria house and peto house.
The rear looks at to the Esplanade and the sea.
One seems to be now called gresham house.
Thanks
John
