Building record 1499100000 - 37, 39 & 41 Lower Street, Quainton

This short row of early C20 (date plaque states 1911) is prominently positioned towards the front
of their plots facing onto Lower Street and the access to Wheelrights Yards on the opposite side of
the road. Although the building has been significantly changed and some of the original fabric lost,
it remains recognisable as an early C20 building. The late C19 and early C20 formed part of a
significant period of growth within Quainton which coincided with a period of agricultural prosperity
and the development of improved transportation within the area. Development on this scale was
not seen again until after the Second Word War with the expansion of housing estates to the west
of the village. Nos, 37, 39 and 41, Lower Road, form part of a group with other early C20th
buildings such as 4, 14 and 17, Upper Street which mark a last flourish of development within the
village just prior to the First World War. Local Heritage Assets in conservation area (1).
