Owing to the scarcity of suitable sites in the Borough, some
time elapsed before it was possible to acquire the necessary land
for the purpose.
In April, 1931, the Council accepted the offer by the Housing
Committee of a piece of land on the White House Estate, almost
opposite Knotts Green Special School. The site is in a quiet
neighbourhood and yet easily accessible from the main 'bus and
tramway routes.
