Houses on Chilcombe Street

1930s to 1940s

Account by Edward Battersby.The original house (3 Chilcombe Street), built in 1928 of double brick.

Contributor’s note: I lived in this house from age of 6 months, until I left to get married in 1953, aged 25. Beginning of our grass tennis court on right. In front of picture, some cultivated land, probably got vegetables growing. The next dark patch would be lucerne, grazing for cows (5 Chilcombe Street).
