Homes in Allenton

Allenton takes its name from Isaac Allen, who built the first houses here in 1878. Most of what stands now came later. Derby's first council homes went up near the factory in Osmaston and Allenton after Rolls-Royce arrived in 1907, roads such as Harvey Road followed around 1930, and more council housing was added after the war. Many of these houses have been rewired once already. The board fitted at that time is often the weak point now, with cartridge fuses and no RCD on the sockets.
