Redlands Residents Association
| History of the Redlands Residents Association |
| Bill Akam's recollections of Redlands and the surrounding area. |

"Many of the houses in the Association were built in late 1939, and finished as World War Two was beginning. Mr & Mrs Byer were some of the earliest residents in Croft Way, who moved into number 37 late 1939, as soon as it was built. She used to tell me about the functions the Redlands Residents Association would put on, including street parties. I moved in in 1973, and at that time there were hardly any families with children living in the Road, the population consisted mainly of middle-aged and elderly people. Over the past few years they have either moved away or passed away, and there are now many young families with young children and babies." Let us know if you have any information or pictures to help us build a history of the Association.
