Can anyone identify the circled buildings in this Britain from Above photograph taken in 1928 looking towards Meadow Head and the the old Aerodrome?

Thanks southside

As they don't seem to be on any maps, I think they are part of the Greenhill hut and caravan colony of the 1920s.  By 1931 most of the hut dwellers had been moved into new council housing built adjacent.

Thanks Edmund.   I've scratched my head a few times looking at this photograph. 

I grew up on the estate at Greenhill, one of our neighbours had  lived in the allotment huts at Meadowhead and moved to the estate when it was built in the 30s.   just didn't put two and two together!!
