The Old Houses In Elstree - Follow Up

After adding this photo of The Old Houses in Elstree on Monday, we've discovered the exact dates of their building and demolition.  The false half-timbered front was added in 1923 by Sir Trevor Dawson to some existing cottages. Wyn Everett in her book described them as 'Elizabethan' but if you look at this photo taken before they were 'improved' you can't see any Tudor features. 

They were demolished in 1968 and the current flats and shops built as a replacement.  We would love to know what they were like inside before they were demolished.

Next weeks' 'Most Missed' is on the way...
