Background Information
The bungalows in Oak Road are connected by an emergency bell system to the Warden's house behind which is the attached rest room. The warden's house was built only a year or so before the opening of the rest room. The first Warden was Mrs. O'Callagan who is seen in some shots near the end wearing a necklace. She received £1 a week and a free house for her work.
