| The plan below is for the right-hand bungalow of a pair in Barker Close. The plot of land cost £220 and the building cost was £1,675. A deposit was paid in June 1958, and a letter in July told of an addition due to increased labour costs of £12.10s, with a further wage award of 1d per hour, another £1.4s. was added in February, when the build was completed. The bungalow had been paid for by three installments: October 1958 £385, December 1958 £750, and January 1959 £375. In January 1959 the couple placed an order for their furniture - a sideboard, table and four chairs, bookcase in "sepia" and settee and two easy chairs, and two wardrobes in "natural oak" and a bed for the first bedroom, and 2½ years later they furinshed the second bedroom. |
