| 19 and 17 Honywood Road |
This pair of semi-detached villas was ordered to be built by William Claridge for his daughters in 1908. Claridge had a coach and saddle store where Red Lion book shop is at 125 High Street Colchester. "No 125 High Street was the premises of W Claridge & Co., Wholesale and Retail Saddlers and Saddlers' Ironmongers, in 1888-1890: 'Established seventy years ago, it has been so conducted that it has come to the forefront of the trade. The premises in occupation are admirably located in a central position; they are three stories in height, and in the large show-window may be seen excellent samples of the productions of this eminent firm ...' (IotECBR)] 17 and 19 Honywood Road were designed by architect E E May, who also designed the High School on Wellesley Road Colchester (James Bettley and Nikolaus Pevsner, Essex, p. 279). The houses were built by Builder, R. Beaumont. The original plans for the house may be found at http://seax.essexcc.gov.uk/result_details.asp?DocID=248077. |
