This occurred during the decades The two hotels at the station were also built during the 's. But this limited housing provision did not ease the problem, which still existed in the 's. However, if a need exists, there is always someone ready to satisfy the demand. Such a man was Stephen Dixon, an East Hagbourne farmer. It was he that began the urban housing development of Didcot New Town or North Hagbourne, which later became known as Northbourne.
This had previously been anticipated in by the building of two terraces of five cottages known respectively as Marsh Cottages and Railway Terrace, sited next to former Marsh Bridge. The first eight houses of Northbourne were built in on land sold by Stephen Dixon. Then came two large groups of cottages in Church Street, built c by Dixon, one of which, on the south side, was called 'Dixon's Row'. The other streets were laid down in the 's and 80's and given the modern road names in In , the Northbourne development consisted of 65 houses; of which Dixon owned 20, the other 45 by 15 owners of whom the largest owned eight.
By , Northbourne was practically complete within the confines of its eight streets. By , the demand for houses no longer existed. This must be the explanation for the abandonment during that decade of two large housing schemes, one of which was to have covered all the land between Foxhall Road and Station Road. A survey of the Wallingford Rural District Council area found that a housing need existed in the villages rather than at Didcot.
However, the War, and the subsequent establishment of the Army Barracks and Ordnance Depot soon upset this happy state. Before the arrival of the Army the physical appearance of Didcot was this: the Railway Station, and the hotels and other buildings immediately opposite; the Provender Store now demolished and the two lines; then to the south-west the ancient village of Didcot; down the west side of Station Hill or Road were the GWR houses and north of them the terrace of cottages known as the 'Barracks' now the site of a supermarket opposite to the old 'White Hart'.
Each was separated from the other by farmland. On the other side of the Wallingford Road, then situated in the parish of East Hagbourne, was Northbourne, which in turn was separated by farmland from East and West Hagbourne.
There were no other large groups of buildings except for the odd barn or the Wheatsheaf Inn. The influx of workers brought to Didcot by the Army in droves during the First World War was soon to alter this quiet rural appearance, and in a drastic way.
Thus it was the Army, and not the Railway, that fashioned the modern Didcot we know today. Growth emanating from the Railway had practically ceased by Before the outbreak of war, the Railway was the main employer with agriculture the secondary source. The Army soon became the third and in time the largest employer, especially during the inter-war years.
This influx quickly created another acute housing crisis. Peter's, and St. Andrew's Roads. Then, in came the first of the large private estates, the Georgetown Garden City Estate, originally erected for Army employees and centred on Foxhall and Wantage Roads and Glyn Avenue.
This sudden population increase soon brought an extension of those commercial services that people in the modern world expect and demand - schools, shops and entertainment. Before , Broadway west of Station Road was a quiet residential road. Most shops were located in Northbourne, at the Station or in the old village. The establishment of the Broadway as Didcot's shopping centre began in the mid 's and gathered momentum during the early 30's.
One of the first shops in the upper part of the road was a tin shack, known as 'Annie Barber's', this was followed by the shop later known as 'Hows', now one half of Peacock's Store. The first cinema was erected in and replaced by the present one Coronet Bingo Hall in There was an increase in the number of clubs and public houses. Spiritual and educational needs were not neglected during the urban development of the 30's. Before the only churches in the immediate area were All Saints' at Didcot and St.
