Semi-Detached Houses, New Eltham - Sidcup

Most of the housing in this quarter of the square was built in the mid-late 1930s, and most is semi-detached, often extended now from 3 to 4 bedrooms. The original very durable concrete (with pebble-chip) road surface remains, patched occasionally. The original grey 1930s heavy paving slabs have been relaid after cable TV installed their pipes and other equipment. The pink ones are post-war replacements for cracked slabs. Parking restrictions and yellow lines appeared in the 1990s.
