A few pictures of better class terraced houses (these are in Caersws). The corrugated sheeting to the weather wall is a fairly common feature of houses and farmhouses in the mid Wales area.

Alan, I believe that the design originates back to the Roman era and was a good luck sign.  The Nazis appropriated it and reversed it, I believe.
