Directory & Chronicle
1884 - Mody, H.N., Buxey Lodge, Caine Road.
1885 - Mody Mrs. H.N. Buxey Lodge Caine Road
In 1909, Mody bought a new house, then called "New Lands" on Conduit Road. In May 1910, having spent some months living at the King Edward Hotel in a suite of private apartments, he moved into the new Buxey Lodge.
The house was sold in 1912 to Pung Young Wo.
It survived until the 1985 - when it was replaced by Albron Court.

Liz Chater's Research
I see from this excellent information that Buxey Lodge was originally No 31 Caine Road.
I think my great grandfather and family lived at 33 Caine Road in 1905. Has anybody got information or pictures of this house?
Forest Lodge - 33 Caine Rd
Check out the new "place" Forest Lodge. Liz Chater's comments suggest she has a picture of Forest Lodge. It and Buxey Lodge in Caine Rd are the same shape on the 1901 map.
Forest Lodge/Buxey Lodge
Sorry no photo of Forest Lodge.......but it the plot was identical then maybe the houses were too, in which case the photo above will be what you're after. :)
