117-127 Harrow View history through images

117-127 Harrow View history through Stanley Appleyard’s images prior to 1925.

One of the earliest photos, date unknown, but assumed to be around 1918:

Harrow View looking North, 117-127 on the right, 112,114 bay windows to left.

Following is perhaps even earlier as there are no lamp posts visible:

Not immediately apparent that the above images belongs to Harrow View history, but this is explained when compared to the following,  showing the same 6 houses in more detail.

A later shot showing now showing 131 and 129.  A trellis has been added above the porch to 123.
