Early to mid 20th century workers cottages, No.s 1-8 Ulting Lane (EHER 40603)

The first of two phases of water workers houses provided by the Southend Waterworks Co. for the staff at the Langford Water Treatment Works (EHER 8014). Nos 1-8 were built in the late 1920s.

2005-2006. Industrial Housing in Essex survey. These houses lie adjacent to the extensive Langford Water Treatment Works (EHER 8014) originally developed by Southend Waterworks in the late 1920s. The works were further developed in the post-war period and the houses reflect these two phases of development. Numbers 1 – 8 on the east side of Ulting Lane were built between the wars during the first phase of development of the water works. They comprise four pairs of semi-detached houses of rendered brick under slate roofs with clay ridge tiles. Each has a brick string course between the two storeys. Numbers 9 – 16 on the west side of Ulting Lane around a green were built in 1954 (see EHER 82028). <1>
