Hello all I wonder if someone local can tell me a little about a house in Rugby in Vicarage Road called 'Wyndham Villa'. I would like to know what sort of house this was; was it an ordinary house or a bit grander? The occupants of the house, Edward James Pollard and his wife, Annie Bird lived there in 1901 with one servant. Kind regards Janet

Hi Janet Yes I know Vicarage Road, I was born very close to it. It would have been new in 1901, it cannot be found on a 1889 map. The houses along would be up-market, not the top range but for a genteel class. Good solid built Victorian properties. The road itself is a cul-de-sac. It used to be tree-lined.On foot you can get right through but not by vehicle. When I was at senior school we had to pass along it to get to our sports fields. I will be out and about tomorrow, so will try for a photo for you. If you have Google Earth it shows up quite well on there.
