Description:
An innovation of the end of the 1914-18 war was the encouragement and financial assistance by the government to local authorities to build houses for the working classes. Nottingham undertook this by building some 17,000 houses by 1939. Some of the earliest were on the Sherwood Estate built on garden city lines. These houses on Perry Road were designed especially to give an attractive front on a main road.
