4 and 5.—Living room, scullery, bathroom, and three
bedrooms. (Two types for different aspects).
6—Flats with living room, scullery, bathroom and
two bedrooms.
Each cottage and flat is provided with a larder,
water-closet and coal-store. The sculleries are provided
with a copper, with draw-off top and gas-cooker.
Hot water is provided in all houses, a gas circulator
being fixed in conjunction with the hot water system.
All the rooms are wired for electric light. The plans
of the various types of houses are illustrated in the
second photograph. The third photograph of the completed
houses facing Pope's Lane give an idea of the pleasing
elevation.
The rents fixed, with the approval of the Ministry
of Health, are for the parlour-houses 24s. a week,
including rates, rent of meter and circulator; for the
non-parlour houses 20s. a week; and for the flats 16s. 6d.
a week. Seventy-two of these houses were completed
by the end of the year.
The Council have also provided six flats, to relieve
overcrowding, by the temporary conversion of a large
house on the Village Park site.
Two other flats have been made by the erection
and conversion of an Army hut on the ground belonging
to the Council in Bramley Road.
While considering this new scheme, it must be remembered
that as long ago as 1901 the Council inaugurated
a Housing Scheme in South and North Roads, South
Ealing, where 139 tenements were erected.
