This is on the face of it an unremarkable view of a typical pre-war municipal housing development; a view that could be replicated just about anywhere in southern England. However, if I had been standing in the same spot at any time between late 1934 and early 1959 my view would have been blocked by a mini version of the Berlin Wall. The reasons for this are all to do the fear of people who are 'not quite our class darling'. Note.
