A glimpse of how the 21st century affects 19th century housing. Most noticeable, perhaps, is the number of rubbish receptacles which residents are now expected to store, and to remember the cycle for putting them out to be emptied. These folks are spared any bother over the cycle because the only practical solution (at least for those not having the luxury of end-of-terrace) is to put them in their front garden area. And the reason they are so large is because the public bodies who are responsible for emptying them do so on a fortnightly timetable. A far cry from the days of a single tin can emptied once a week.
Although the houses were clearly built to a budget, the use of stone lintels and quoins goes a long way to relieve the dominance of red brick, which is a gentler shade than the brick manufactured in our times.
You will easily be able to notice other 21st century intrusions which were never part of the original houses erected circa 1860.
