The well-maintained houses in the centre are typical of between the wars middle-class residences built in the thousands in the 1930s up and down the country. In most respects they are no different from any of the others that can be found. However, they lie at the root of a quite fascinating example of how class distinctions can create conflict and, in this case, a rare study in enforced segregation. Note.
