More about this scene

When factories arrived in the village in the 19th century, development along the Wistow, Saddington and Kilby Roads was inevitable. The red- brick solidity of the houses presents an almost urban face, apart from the small front gardens. Many houses have date plaques, and most fall into a range between 1890 and 1910. An off- licence offers Phipps ales and stout, and at the end of the row, as if anticipating further expansion, there is a small shop.
