70 And 72, Willifield Way

70 and 72 Willifield Way are artisans' cottages built in 1909 by George Hubbard and Arthur Walter Moore for the Improved Industrial Dwellings Company, with input from Parker and Unwin. The cottages are made of rendered brick, painted, and feature a tiled roof that is half hipped on No. 70 and hipped on No. 72. They are two storeys high with a three-window range. The second and third ranges are connected by a facing gable that extends into an outshut on the return side. All first-floor windows are two-light, while the ground floor features tripartite windows. The windows are sash style with an original design, and those on the returns and ground floor have weatherings. The entrances are located on the returns. There is an axial stack on the party wall and a square stack on the right return. This building is part of a group designed by Hubbard and Moore for the Improved Industrial Dwellings Company, which includes Nos. 70-124 Willifield Way, and the units are arranged symmetrically around a central green. The architects have consistently used sash windows in double, triple, or tripartite arrangements and incorporated facing gables to unify the design.
