Carlton Road is a typical 1930s private housing development no different from many others. It looks much like this one http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1985413 However its occupiers were deemed to be under threat from the folk living in the neighbouring estate to the extent that a wall had to be put up to keep them out. Why? Because the occupiers of the latter estate were council tenants. Note. This image has a detailed ‘shared description’ which you won’t see by viewing this image on a slideshow.
