Poets Cottages
38-46 Milton Street
These cottages pre-date the Freehold Land Society's
California Estate development of housing
to the east of Ipswich. It is interesting to envisage the landscape
here before the FLS development started in 1850. These small farm
workers' cottages would have stood more-or-less alone surrounded
by the sheep fields of the Cauldwell Hall estate. Presumably a track
from Spring Road gave access to the cottages and the FLS followed the
line and built the roadway into California's grid-iron of streets.
