Any information on Bonds Estate bungalow?

Can anyone help Trisha by providing information or links to old maps and/or photos?

Hello, I am trying to find where I used to live in Hedon around 1969-70. I lived in brick built white bungalow called Rosedene on Bonds Estate as it was called then.

We had an acre of land at the time and our field finished with the drain at the bottom. We were the last property on a very rough and muddy track near the old railway line. I have been recently but can’t get my bearings.

Do you have any old maps or photos of the area before it was built upon please? I do believe my Dad sold the land for £200!

Many thanks
Trisha Park
