Moor Lane c.1950

Another interesting snaps from local resident Alan showing a view of Moor lane in 1950.  These houses were built in the 1930 in the interwar period.

• You can clearly see the two conker trees either side of the lane (quite clearly coppiced in this picture).
• No white lines seperating New Lane and Moor Lane (clearly Health & Safety had yet to rear its head).

The style of the housing was very much in vogue as you can see from this model house built at a Housing Exhibit at the Alexandra Palace:
