This was the first directory to incorporate the Airey Houses, shown at the end as the block of 12 houses in “Newnham Lane”. Somewhat confusingly, the original Council House numbers are also used for Newnham Lane in the main body of the directory. The houses in what became Coronation Road some years later are numbered in the opposite order as part of Pleasant View. More detail on cottage numbers are in the 1959 directory.
An attempt has been made to link the names in the Church Lawford section of this directory to the locations in the Village at that time. It will not be 100% accurate, or complete, but it may help to locate people.
