EATON ROAD

A very good example of the staggering rise in land values during the past fifty years. Note the two semi-detached houses between the trees; these were 11 and 13, Eaton Road. They were built in 1923 on part of the extensive open land which had existed in the neighbourhood of Palmeira Avenue. What they cost, with the land is anybody’s guess, but had large gardens, and the site became “ripe for Development”. At auction, in 1972, they fetched the sum of £168000. Photographed on 22 October 1972, they have since been demolished.
