More about this scene

Pevsner in The Buildings of England says of Caldy: 'Cheshire is something of a Surrey of the North, but Surrey has nothing to compare with this'. In 1906, the Caldy Manor Estate was split up into housing development plots for the wealthy. The smallest ones were about an acre in size, and this influenced the sorts of houses constructed during the Edwardian period; consequently the village reflects this glimpse of Edwardian elegance in its buildings.
