practical step towards building houses quickly and cheaply and making it possible for people having only a small amount c! capital to own their own houses, is being promoted by the Hanworth Public Utility Society, which is planning to set 3,000 houses in old-world gardens and to call it the Han-worth Park Garden Suburb.
The new suburb is in Middlesex, minutes' train journey from waterloo, and within three miles of Twickenham and Staines.
The Government subsidies, and mass production of standardized parts in workshops en the spot, will be employed to expedite production and to keep down costs. The cost of the houses will vary from £950 to £1,200.
Those who want to get one of the first houses to be built have to put down £250, but the six per cent. loan stock which is being issued can be taken out in lesser sums if they are prepared to wait their turn. The balance of the cost of the houses is to be spread over periods of front 15 to 50 years.
Two sitting-rooms and three to four bedrooms are the general accommodation to be provided.
The old hall is to be turned into a club and guest house for the residents, and the happy Han-worth suburbites will be able to roam at will in the old Dutch garden and the rose garden, to picnic in the woods on the edge of the estate, and to play tennis on the velvety courts.
