I came across a Hodge Hill Estates builders prospectus. In the 30`s they were building 3-bedroom semis to the west of Brockhurst Road, Radstock Avenue and others.
Also part of Primley Avenue is shown, though interestingly on the plan, this avenue is not joined up to Ventnor Avenue, and ends with a turning circle.
House prices were, £600 Leasehold (99 years` Lease), with a ground rent of £7.10s per annum.
You had the choice of purchasing on a weekly payment plan: deposit £50 (to include Legal Charges), then 16s 6d(82p)weekly over 20 years.
On the plan the line of the old narrow Bromford Rd is shown before being straightened and widened, and houses built.
I seem to remember that part of this "old" stretch remained undeveloped on the northern edge of the common, where Cornock`s sandpit was.
