Online talk – On the Street Where You Live: Alleyn Road
8pm-9pm. Alleyn Road has a pleasant wide aspect with large houses on both sides, it was not like that originally. Although building started in the 1860s, the final houses on the west side were not completed until the early 1890s. Prior to 1900, the east side consisted of the fences of the back gardens of the larger houses in Alleyn Park and it took almost a further 100 years for this side of the road to be fully developed, the last houses being completed in the 1990s. Ian McInnes’ talk will cover not only the houses and their builders, but also a range of their occupiers, many notable and interesting characters.
