Former Police houses at the far end of Hayling Road, which were first occupied in late 1950/January 1951 by PS Wray & Family (314) and PC Farrer & Family. Sergeant Wray was replaced by Sergeant Swain & family in February 1953, including this contributor, until January 1965. No.314 was extended by an East African businessman, of Gujarati extraction, in 1992/93. The Farrers left, en bloc, for Australia in June 1960, one of several families who emigrated Down Under in the post-war period. |

Roads already marked out at the west end of the estate: Dumfries Close, Nairn Green, Handsworth Way, Ashburnham Drive and Hallowes Crescent are all shown branching off from Hayling Road. By the summer of 1951, all the houses would be finished, trees planted and soon the roads would have a Tarmac surface. A new bus route (346)served this end of South Oxhey, via Eastbury Road and Prestwick Road, and a row of neighbourhood shops appeared in Hallowes Crescent. |

This view of the Oxhey Housing Estate is looking west along the line of one of the major roads, in almost the exact opposite direction to image EAW022130. The estate is still less than half finished and the remaining housing stock would not be in place for another three years. The social amenities, such as schools, shops, clubs and churches, would follow in the 1950s. In this shot, it is readily apparent that building started at the east (railway) end and would slowly progress along the axis of Hayling Road. The police houses built at the western end of Hayling Road (nos. 312 and 314) were only completed in late 1950. |
