Details

RUSHBY MEAD 1. 5255 Nos 86 to 144 (even) TL 2232 9/126-152 II GV 2. 1911 by Bennett and Bidwell. Grouped workmen's cottages in 7 blocks of 2, 4 and 6. Built by the Howard Cottage Society Limited. The best of the early cottage layouts in which Bennett and Bidwell used their standard house types to particular advantage in an imaginative layout which exploits the picturesque quality of the street as advocated by Unwin in his then recently published 'Town Planning in Practise'. One and a half storeys. One and two windows each. Irregular design of facades varied by use of large gabled bays. Tile roofs with brick ridge stacks. Roughcast walls. Gabled dormer casements with weather-boarded gables. Two, three and four light mullioned casements with glazing bars; some first floor gable windows with tile labels extended to form strings. Recessed doorways with tile labels. The original paintwork specification of cream walls and windows, and green doors has been maintained throughout.
