Another routine shot of a road in a municipal housing estate. It looks like a pleasant place to live and the residents in the main are, I'm sure, perfectly nice law-abiding citizens who like to be good neighbours. Back in the early 1930s though the tenants of the Oxford Corporation were deemed to be so evil that they were physically stopped from entering a nearby private housing estate - for twenty-five years.
