The counties surrounding London’s suburbs are a feast of ‘Mock Tudor’. When I lived in Bexley, we had whole roads of houses like this one.
Best wishes, Pete.

    Influences of the Arts and Crafts Movement? And wealthy suburbanites seeking rural nostalgia? A lot of Lutyens influence too on the developments between the wars.

Those timbered houses represent a special era in building style. I have always been fascinated but them. Maybe because they are hard to find in Norway.

Love these, Sue. And the idea of “Mock Tudor” – didn’t know that.
