Mr. W. Beckly of Hamsworthy was the main builder in Bradworthy up to 1930.
Very few new houses were built in the village during the first two decades of the century.
However, some shops were constructed and many old cottages were improved.
Between 1920 and 1930 W. Beckly built four new houses as grants became available.
Again, more cottages were improved and most thatched roofs were replaced with slate.
A number of farm buildings were also erected.
