Could it be a renamed street rather than a 1960s build? There can't be
two Routemaster Closes in that area, surely? I daresay to the untrained
eye a 1960s housing estate might look 'pre-war'? I'm not an architect
myself, and my dad's bungalow in Coulsdon looks pre-war to me, but it
was actually built in 1959.
