New expensive detached houses being built in Ellards Close. This aspect raised by the photo is very interesting. Topsham Road separates what is a huge council estate (Burnthouse Lane) imposed on the area from the early thirties from expensive private housing. I had always, and obviously wrongly, assumed the private housing was there before the high density council housing was built and in effect the private homeowners had the council housing imposed on them. However it's clear to see the private side of Topsham Road was developed after Burnthouse Lane was built and probably as a result of BHL opening up Topsham Road and releasing surrounding land for development.
