No. 1 Blue house would have been built early 1939 as Mum &Dad moved into 16 Crawley in June 1939.

I assume that the builder worked down from the top of Blue House, Lambley Cres. However why leave the gap to be filled later by council houses.

Maybe they built Crawley etc first then up Blue house.

I wonder if there were more than one builder as the design of the houses differed. The house on Crawley on the Blue House side next to Titlington Grove was different.

Maybe they built builder of Lambley Cres was different and didn’t finish Lambley due to the start of the war.

On Crawley There was a gap left 18 & 20, however they built 22& 24, which was a different design, similar but different.

I wonder why they left the gap possibly 14, 16, 22& 24 had buyers and the start of the war stoped things resulting in 18& 20 not being built.

In 22 was Bob Rowntree the model aircraft chap, I seem to remember he built a big plane about 5-6foot wingspan and it was RED. He started me off building flying models.
