It's quite interesting to see how much more elaborate and well-tended are the rear gardens of houses as here in Wellacre Road. It was all a part of the Metro-Land dream. Being a new estate, there is little in the way of mature trees. Most front gardens are now a thing of the past, having been given over to ugly hard standing for the two or more motor cars in each household.

This is where (many years on) an irate Basil Fawlty (played by John Cleese) was filmed beating his errant car on the bonnet with the branch of a tree. (Lapstone Gardens j/w Mentmore Close)

It was some years before the masons got hold of it. I do no not believe that they acquired it until 1954. It was known formerly as the Palaestra, a private sports and social club intended for local residents of the Northwick Estate.



The intention by Capt Edward G Spencer-Churchill (the former landowner) was that the Northwick Estate should be a deal more exclusive than it eventually came to be.
