Description
SITUATION
The town of Didcot offers comprehensive leisure and sporting facilities for all ages and has a shopping complex named the Orchard Centre, with multiplex cinema, Cornerstone Arts Centre and various shops, cafes, and restaurants.
Didcot has excellent road links to the A34 which in turn lead to the M40 in the north and the M4 in the south. There is also an excellent mainline train service into London, Paddington, approximately 45 minutes.
Station Road or Station Hill, as it was then known, was constructed by the Great Western Railway Company in 1848 as a link from the new station, built in 1844, to the privately built and owned railway town of Northbourne which was largely complete by 1887.
In 1904 the Company decided to build houses for their workers along the western side of Station Road. The buildings were carefully designed as an architectural group in blocks of six units.
The restrained Queen Anne/Georgian architectural style is typical of the Edwardian period.
The development was laid out on a strict hierarchical basis. The detached house at the southern end was occupied by the permanent railway inspector. The first group of six houses were occupied by the permanent railway men. Going north the next groups were occupied by signalmen and ticket collectors, provender (food) store workers, telegraph linesmen and engine drivers respectively. The engine drivers were given more spacious accommodation which indicates the status of this particular job. The three detached houses at the northern end were occupied by the locomotive foreman, the telegraph office inspector and the signals and telephones inspector.
