Part of a map which we think dates from around 1940. The present-day area called Kings Elms is outlined in red.
This map shows what might be called the first phase of Kings Elms. These 6 semis were Council houses built in 1939 and were numbered 1-12 Kings Elms.
Details of later phases can be found here.
