Re: A terrace of eight four-storey buildings
There were predecessors on this place : 13 - 27 Cameron Road Houses (1st gen.) [c.1895-c.1923] (I've made a place for it). Possibly the 1920 map still shows the first generation. The new houses appear first on a 1927 photo.
Demolition dates
According to Centadata, new houses on 15, 17, 19-21, and 35 Cameron Road had dates of first occupation between 4/1956 and 2/1958.
Thanks Klaus, I've updated
Thanks Klaus, I've updated the page with your extra information.
I searched the 1920-29 PWD annual reports for 539, the lot number, but didn't find any matches.
Re: 13-27 Cameron Road
Update:
The first and second generation buildings on 13-27 Cameron Road were also known as Cameron Terrace.
