I have just been looking at some old family documents and there is a Tenancy Agreement between Ashton Council and my grandparents John & Clara Ward. They were the first family to live in this house (Blue Bell end of Elm Ave)when they were newly built - my cousin still lives in the house. The agreement says they were to move in on 2 Nov 1946, so that gives us an idea as to when this part of the estate was finished.
It is actually named on the papers as Rectory Road Housing Site.
