1937. —
In this year three houses in North Hill and four in Southwood Lane were closed and demolished (36, 110 and 112,
North Hill, and 76-84, Southwood Lane).
In the course of this work there was not a single appeal against the closing and demolition orders—a testimony to
the fairness of the Council's requirements, the tact of the officers of the Health Department and the public spirit of
owners who receive only site value for property dealt with in this way.
