Springfield House, Alma Road, Windsor
« on: Sunday 24 October 21 17:28 BST (UK) »
Hello Everyone ... I was wondering if someone out there might have any photos of Springfield House, Alma Road, Windsor?  It was also numbered as 95 Alma Road, and was built around 1859 and demolished in approx 1962 to make way for some modern flats called Hatton Court, which still stand on the site today (on the corner of Alma Road and Springfield Road).

I have found a b&w drawing online by a lady called Phyllis Floud who lived in the house in the 1940s for a short while, but have been unable to find any photos from any era.  I have not attached the drawing as I am unsure re copyright issues, but if anyone wants to see it you can type in 'springfield house alma road windsor tapatalk' and the drawing will come up close to the top of the image results in Google.

I have contacted the local history society and asked them various questions regarding the house as I am doing a potted history about it as my friend's relatives lived there years ago, but no joy with any photos.

If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated as we would love to see a proper photo of the house!

Nina

I have a pic of 74 which I think was demolished for road enlargement rather than the construction of flats.
