House numbers 32 built c1893; 34 built 1960; 32A built 1979

The 1857 plot allocation plan shows Woodward owning both plots 13 & 14 and these are still shown as orchard in the 1872 OS survey.

The 1898 OS survey shows the single late Victorian property on plot 13 to a ground plan very similar to today but without the side garage. As built the house had the full 2230sq yds of plot 13 as its grounds. The house had a stable/ coachhouse block to its rear. Rock Cottage is not named in the 1891 census and the implication is that the house was built around the mid 1890s.

Dicksons nurseries owned the land behind plot 13 and eventually the nurseries closed down. As the post WW2 housing development escalated the land immediately to the rear of no:32 became landlocked. Towards the end of the 1950s the then Chairman of Upton Park and owner of no:32 , Dr Sconce took the opportunity of using a boundary slice of his land to gain access to some of this land. While this raised emotions within some members of the Association the property (no:34) was built and with its drive within the covenanted area it became part of Upton Park.

Some years later in the late 1970s the then owner of no:32 Jim Irvin repeated the exercise to access more land to the rear. Unable to gain consent from the owner of no:34 to share their drive, another parallel drive was cut through the side garden of no:32 to gain access for another property (no:32A) which also joined the Park. Since both these two later properties were outside the covenanted area they were not challenged as regards the covenant.
