	A shop was built next to the bungalow in about 1950 and a Post Office was added when Beryl & Ossie Keys came in about 1970.
	The bungalow next door was specially built in about 1970 for Beryl & Ossie's daughter who suffered from mulitple sclerosis and was in a wheelchair.
	The shop and bungalow were demolished in 2006 and two large houses now fill the plot.

After the Sale in about 1914, many plots had new buildings erected, later these plots were sub divided and now there are very many more. Lots have been altered beyond recognition, some bungalows have had the roof removed and an upstairs built. Rushden Lodge was demolished about 2000 and a new house built. The building had earlier been used for Manor Court sittings hence the name Court Estate.
