How close is too close

No need to worry about gardening







The fronts aren't any better for space.

Compared to todays definition of 'detached' these would probably now be described as having a large open aspect to the rear

There was a case several years ago with a new housing estate when the "detached" houses were built so close together that it was impossible for both neighbours to open the casement window on their half-landings at the same time on the "non-drive" side of the houses !!

Nice photos Trev. An estate agent would probably describe them as having a paved rear courtyard with low maintenance gardens to the front. Incidentally, what on earth is that green structure protruding from the first floor of the building in the third photo ? I wouldn't fancy walking under it that's for sure.

In relation to the green structure, I think at some time it was a  pulley jib.

The sort of thing you used to see at the top of warehouses and mills for goods coming in and out.
Health and Safety wouldn't have it nowadays.
