Norton Way North St George's Church by Peter Bosanquet in 1961-64. See inside the church , its construction and paintin the spire and history on this site here and a diary etc on the official website www.parishofnorton.org.uk The road in the foreground is one of the roads crossing east to Green Lane, Common View. Housing for industrial workers was built along here and in North Avenue, which branches from it. "Elmwood Cottages" by Baillie Scott an entry in the 1905 Cheap Cottage exhibition that failed to qualify due to exceeding the cost limit of £150 per dwelling. The original sketches show the roofline continued down to almost the ground , which made it very picturesque but impractical . The appearance of the original lines have been spoilt a bit by the necessary addition of the flat roofed blocks on each end. A little further down on your left is Glebe Road Please take a look at Common View and Glebe Road before going on. Both are on the heritage walk through the town, we don't come back this way on the tour and I got badly rained on twice trying to get these pictures. Letchworth Plan |
