One
of several Ernest Newton designed houses in
Bickley, Little Orchard was built in 1902.
Neighbouring houses numbered 21 - 23, also
by Newton, have a rough cast finish, but in
contrast this one is of red brick.
No. 25, shown here, was originally named 'Broad
Clyst' and the home of Rev.Charles Wilson.
It reflects the Georgian influence that was
inspiring Newton at this time.
It appears to have been speculatively built
as it took several years to find an occupier.
