Rendered property in the Garden Street estate withbrick detailing below the windows and still retaining itsbrick chimneystack.Berkeley Crescent terraces largely have pitchedgables, which reflect the cottage/country style that theGarden Suburb Movement was trying to achieve. Thepatterns in the brickwork add detail as well as helpingto break up the mass of the rendering.Building design and materials used in the mid 19thand early 20th century properties on Garden Streetcontrast sharply with one another.4.3.9 Although the PUDC properties were considered a vast improvement on the backto-back dwellings, which were being cleared elsewhere, the new houses were built adjacentto traditional terraces with little thought to how their design might be integrated with localbuilding styles and materials. The result is an unsympathetic contrast. For example, the 20thcentury rendered semi detached properties located on the northern end of Garden Streetcontrast with the mid 19th century stone terraces on the southern end. The detailing on theearly 20th century houses also sets them apart from existing older terraced housing in thearea particularly pitched gabled roofs and patterned brickwork. As a consequence of thesedifferences Garden Street has been divided between Character Areas 2 and 3 (see 5.4.3 &Plans A & F).Slade Estate4.3.10 Only a small section of the Slade Estate (also known as The Lakes Estate)has been incorporated within Area 2 (Plan A). Like Garden Street, the later Slade Estate alsodeveloped at low density with houses being built around a series of curved streets, cul-desacsand small greens. A network of footpaths and alleyways connects various parts of theestate together. However, the general layout of the highway is such that problems related toaccessibility are apparent in certain areas.4.3.11 Slade was developed over a number of phases between the late 1940s and early1950s. Plans for sections of the streets in Slade were submitted to the PUDC for approval priorto construction.4.3.12 Slade includes a mix of housing styles such as 2 and 3 bedroom type houses andbungalows (BCRs). The houses are largely built in short terraced blocks or as semi-detachedproperties. Both the houses and bungalows have also been constructed using brick, andmost are either fully or partially rendered with concrete. The properties within this estatealso contrast sharply with the design and construction materials used in the more traditionalterraced houses found across the rest of Padiham (Plan F).4.3.13 In sharp contrast to the pre 1919 terraced housing which was developed alongsideindustrial buildings, places of worship, schools, shops and community buildings, estates suchas Garden Street and Slade built during the interwar period were designed as wholly residentialdevelopments. CostCutter, located at number 7 Hargrove Avenue, is the only commercialbusiness to serve both the Slade and Garden Street Estates. This shop, with flat above, isincorporated within a block of six 2-bedroom type houses, which were given approval by thePUDC in August 1955. Today the exterior of the block and shop does not appear to havebeen much altered from its original plans (BCR 65484). Unlike Area 1, Area 2 contains onlyone public house. The Grove, formerly known as the Hargrove Arms, is situated close tothe junction of Slade Lane and Hargrove Avenue. The pub is constructed from brick and isessentially of the same character as the houses within the Slade Estate. The Catholic Churchof St. Philip the Apostle, which was built in 1953, lies just outside the boundary of Area 2 on theopposite side of Slade Lane (BCR 56481 & Plan A).34 heritage appraisal
The bungalows at 1-31 Windermere Road areconstructed from red brick and rendered. Their originalslate roofs appear to have been replaced over timewith modern synthetic tiles. Their design is such thatit is difficult to know which is the front and which isthe back of the bungalows. However, they do havea pleasing aspect to one side, which looks out onto open grassed space and mature trees betweenWindermere Road and Slade Lane.2-12 Windermere Road were constructed after plans tobuild six 2 bedroom and ten 3 bedroom ‘type’ houseswere approved by PUDC in January 1954 (BCR55590).A variety of housing types have been constructedaround this small green in Hargrove Avenue. Themix of house types includes a pair of semi-detachedproperties, bungalows and a short terraced blockof four. The terraced block has patterned brickworkand gabled bays, features influenced by the GardenSuburb movement.Other houses within Hargrove Avenue have smallwindows in their front rendered elevations. It is likelythat the use of such windows was a cost savingdevice, but, as a result, the opportunity was lost todesign houses with feature windows, which wouldcomplement the space created by the gardens andwide streets. The size of the windows thereforeappears to be out of character with the garden suburbideal.The Grove public househeritage appraisal 35
