History of 100 Eastfield

17 April 1985
Frank Bacon has lived at 100 Eastfields since 1934. It was the first house to be built on the Chesterton estate by the Hundred Houses Society for letting at reasonable rents to young married couples who could not get a council house. Frank and his wife only had one child and chose it because it was a semi-detached. All the other five people who moved in at that time are still there and a great community spirit has developed over the years.
