William Webb Anderson and his wife Eva were the owners of No. 19 “The Cottage”. Number 19 was a pre-existing bungalow on the ridge belonging to the Webb Andersons, and originally counted in with the Leighton Hill addresses.  It was renumbered when Broadwood Road was built. 

Webb Anderson was a missionary doctor who served for 24 years in Kwantung.  He and Eva used the bungalow as their furlough home when on leave. 

The Webb Andersons retired to live in England in 1923.  The house remained in their ownership however and they let it to the Warrens’ son Leslie and his wife Cicely and children Geoffrey and Diana when they moved out of The Towers in 1924.  They were there for the next fourteen years until 1938. 

Leslie Warren died serving with the SOE in India in 1943.
