Historical Notes
During the 1920s and 1930s much infilling along existing roads took place, together with the development of new roads and housing estates such as Meadow Road, Torrington Road, Dalmore Avenue, Cornwall Avenue and Hillview Road. Building came to a stop during the Second World War, and did not get underway again until the 1950s when the Slough Farm council estate between Telegraph Lane and Oaken Lane was built, as also were the much smaller estates of Rosehill and Fairlawn Close which took their names from the old houses they replaced.
