Nissen houses

In 1922 Bampton Urban District Council embarked upon a programme of council house building. First to be built was the block of three semi-detached Nissen designed houses in Frog Street. They are barrel shaped and have galvanised roofs. They were built about the same time as Wembley Stadium and the Exhibition, and the first resident jokingly named them "Wembley Terrace", even to the point of using the name in his address. The name has stuck, but never officially. Nissen houses are rare, and these were Listed Grade II in July 1998.
