PROPOSED COTTAGE TO BE ERECTED ON PLOT NO. 478, DESIGNED BY MESSRS. HARRISON AND HATTRELL, ARCHITECTS AND SURVEYORS - Simplicity, comfort and durability have been aimed at throughout in the construction and the fittings. The plan is commodious and compact, and the spare room on the ground floor may be used as a parlour or bedroom, according to family requirements. Further particulars as to appearance, accommodation, comfort, etc., may be gathered from the plans. It has been afterwards proposed by the architects to include a bath among the fittings, and certain modifications have been made in the plan during execution. The builders are Messrs. Tyers and Yates, of Leicester. [James Cornes: Modern Housing in Town and County page 152]
