Sub-Centre

The construction of the Craylands estate began in the late 1960s and was completed in the early 1970s. Above the shops were seven maisonettes.

From around 1970 a doctors' surgery* was established at No. 16.

The shops have now been demolished during the regeneration of the Craylands housing estate. New shops have been provided off Craylands, which opened around 2018.

Below are some of the past traders to have occupied the units.

Other points of interest:

1) The name Craylands pre-dates the estate; there once having been a Craylands Farm, and parts of the former Fryerns senior school, demolished during 2011/2012, opened as Craylands in 1935.

2) Dr. D.K. Dhadll circa 1970.
