Though they look Victorian or Edwardian, these terraced houses - seen from the park opposite - are some of Cambridge's first council houses, built in 1924. It's interesting, I think, that an off-the-peg design was chosen; later in the inter-wars years councils all over the country favoured variations of the familiar garden-city cottage style. The trees on the edge of the Rec must be some of the tallest on this side of town.
