Harold Denton Place in St Albans – Named after Harold Ernest Denton (1893?- 1975). Denton was a city councillor 1938-1944, 1956-1959 and 1962- 1968. Formed in 1972 and contains city council housing for pensioners. First appears in street directories in 1974.
A small amount of information from the library website and not a lot that I can add. Not a lot of information on Papers Past with just a couple of death notices and entries in garden competitions. In September 1972 the cottages were opened by the mayor N Pickering. There were 20 council built and owned units for pensioners and they are still council owned. Harold Denton was mentioned and he was 80 years old in 1972.
The street runs off Springfield Rd and it actually had a footpath. The units are typical 1970s units.
