Homes in Sunnyhill

Sunnyhill was a small hamlet on Stenson Road until the 1930s, when significant building started. The Blue Pool pub opened in 1936. From then until the end of the century houses went up in stages on old farm, factory and military land. The officers' houses from a wartime prisoner-of-war camp survive as part of Staunton Avenue, and Bideford Drive was built in the 1960s where Sunny Hill House once stood. With houses from so many decades, the wiring varies a lot from street to street.
