James Gray: This estate was laid out and developed by Messrs G S Ferguson & Co., starting in late 1931. Mr Ferguson was a Scot, which is why so many of the avenues have Scottish names. The two photographs above, probably taken in 1932 or 1933 from the Clock Tower show the junction of Barrhill Avenue on the left and Mackie Avenue. In the distance are Craignair Avenue and beyond, Solway Avenue. On the horizon can be seen the woods of Stanmer Park. jgc_35_019
2018: It was difficult to get the correct angle for this photograph. The layout of the roads is still the same and all the houses are still present. There is work being done to enhance or extend some houses. The road layout and the pavements are evident in both pictures – but the roads were far emptier in the 1933 image.
