With a few exceptions, such as those erected on the Great
Western Railway Estate, on the Wesley Estate, on the Hanger
Hill Estate and those erected by the International Nickel Company
in Canada Road and the Goldsmiths Company in Acton Vale, the
houses erected by the Town Council are the only ones built for
letting purposes. The other houses have been built for sale on
completion.
The houses built by the Hanger Hill Estate Company and
by the Goldsmiths Company were not intended for the working
classes, and the other houses built for letting purposes were erected
with a definite object in view. These houses were erected for the
accommodation of certain men who are engaged in a particular
occupation. It may therefore be said that for the working classes
in general, the only houses built since the war have been erected
by the Council. When the Council ceased building on the East
Acton Estate in 1923 there was no slackening in the rate of building ;
in fact the erection of houses proceeded at a greater pace, but the
houses which were erected were for sale and were beyond the reach
of those who were in most need of accommodation.
The following table is given to show the number of houses
which have been erected in the district since the war.
