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. Fujifilm X-E1 and Fujinon 35mm f/1.4 lens.

In the United Kingdom, much of the rural electricity distribution system is carried on wooden poles. Dead-end and other poles that support lateral loads have guy-wires to support them. The guys always have strain insulators inserted in their length to prevent any high voltages caused by electrical faults from reaching the lower portion of the cable that is accessible by the public. In populated areas, guy wires are often encased in a yellow plastic or wood tube reflector attached to their lower end, so that they can be seen more easily. Nikon D700 + AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D lens.
