These former Land Settlement Association cottages are less altered than some on the former Abingtons Estate, so give an idea of what they originally looked like.
TL5248 : On North Road is a summer version of this view, taken in 2015.
In the 1930s the Land Settlement Association provided cottages and five-acre smallholdings for unemployed workers and their families, especially people from the North East and Wales, in about twenty villages in England, including the Abingtons, where there were extensive glasshouses. The LSA ceased to exist in 1983 and the land and houses are now privately owned. Many of the distinctive houses have been extended and altered.
