What kind of roofs are in Ruislip?
Around St Martin’s Church and Manor Farm, Ruislip has timber-framed and old brick buildings under clay peg tiles. Ruislip Manor and the roads around the stations were built up in the 1930s with hipped semis in plain clay or early concrete tiles, tile-hung bays and porches. Post-war houses and bungalows fill the edges towards the Lido and woods.
