This bungalow was one of two homes (22 and 13 Mill Road) constructed in lower Mill Road by Borough Engineer Christopher Skitrop in 1920. Two permits were issued for the construction of the homes, although as no section number is listed in the NPBC permit register, it is unclear which permit relates to what home.
Permit One: A permit for the construction of a residence on Mill Road was granted to C. Skitrop by the Borough Council on 5 May 1920 - Skitrop was the builder, and the estimated construction cost was £750.
