Title: Orchard Lane, Alton [Go to resource]
Description: View of the nineteenth century cottages that used to stand in Orchard Lane, from in front of the Police Station. They were built in rat-trap style, i.e. the bricks were placed on edge, in order to build more cheaply. These cottages were decaying badly, had timber props to shore up bulging walls and had the toilet in a shed in the back garden. Work on their demolition and replacement started in 1982.
