PRESTON ROAD

A good example of the rather gaunt late Victorian houses which lined Preston Road from Dyke Road Drive to the Rookery. Dating from the late 1870’s or early 1880’s, many were built by the Holloway brothers, whose house is shown on another page. Many of these plots had long back gardens, where, concealed from view from Preston Road, were stables, later garages, and coachmen’s’ houses. This particular house contained 15 rooms in addition to basement rooms and a spacious cottage at the end of the garden. Photographed 10 May 1959 Demolished 1961.
