The six Council Houses, ‘Cornish Units’ which were latterly known as 14 to 24 Knighton Road, were built on the Blacksmith’s field in 1951, and were amongst the first houses to be built in the village after the war. They were a Godsend to the people who moved into them in 1951, with their bathrooms, outside toilets, and all mod cons’ (including the ‘new’ 13 amp square pin plug sockets!).

The six Council Houses, ‘Cornish Units’ were bought by the Housing trust in the mid 1990s. It was decided that due to their bad insulation properties, concrete cancer, and enormous front and back gardens, it would be much more worthwhile to demolish them and build three times as many new dwellings on the site
