Park Lane, Horton, Slough

Please can anyone tell me when Park Lane, Horton was first developed or anything of its history or the individual histories of its beautiful old properties?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't recall many properties in Park Lane, Horton are the ones you are referring to further down than the kennels/cattery.   I have only been down there as far as the kennels, I assumed the rest was amongst the reservoirs

Are these the ones you mean

Hi Rosie,

Yes thanks, those are indeed the ones I refer to. My daughter has just had an offer to purchase one of them accepted and is waiting for the formalities to be completed. From the images it is clearly Victorian and, given my interest in history, she asked me to find out what I can.

At this stage superstition creeps in. I don't want to name the house involved for the moment.

Fingers crossed then.  An ideal place for plane spotting 

You should be able to locate the properties in the 1921 census and 1939 register though they probably did not have names then.
