Derelict Sites in Spratton in 1953.

There was a significant amount of correspondence about the problem of unsightly sites iin Spratton of demolished houses where a pile of rubble had been left on the site leaving it very unsightly and affecting "the amenity of the village".

There is a memorandum about the sites. Images 3090 - 3094 are photographs taken at the time, one of each site together with the entry in the memorandum about that site.

The memorandum concludes by saying:

"I am having prepared a set of photographs which whould show in some detail the state of the respective sites and these will be forwarded within a few days time."

1. Manor Road (Mr R Darling). See 3090.

2. Manor Road (Anthony Hodgetts Trust). See 3091
