Short terraces of houses at right-angles to the road were a way of getting more houses into the plot. Sometimes this was overdone, and the rows of houses were too close together with no gardens, just a shared yard. In this case there is plenty of space in front of the houses, so they escaped the slum clearances of the 1960s.
