Not only that, they have tried to upstage the original by making it a private road. And this new road is graced by a public house, the 'Salterton Arms', of which more in due course. This would not, of course, have been permitted in the rather more respectable original, with trading being restricted on the deeds to doctors and dentists. One wonders whether these restrictions ever made it to the Land Registry. Will I wonder enough to check?
As it happens, while there was at least one medical resident, I don't think that there was any trading. A further plus being that as trading was a possibility, the regulations rationing house building in those post-war days allowed the medicos extra rations so that they could include trading facilities in their houses. In other words, they got a bigger house than they might have got otherwise.
