ABSTRACT
This is one of the best works of Eric Lyons and Span Developments Limited, which richly deserves its Grade II listing. It contains three distinctively different groups of housing. The “ quad ” , which fronts the main road, mirrors the traditional Cambridge college courtyard combining flats, maisonettes and garages ( Fig. 3.3 ). The views through to the rear gardens, though now with semi-open screens and gates, are an important part of the composition.
