From around 1946 to 1956 I lived in a house at this spot. On visiting it recently, I was told that the current houses had been built about sixteen years ago. Ours was the left-hand end of terrace, and the current one is still number 17. These new ones undoubtedly have all mod cons, but I doubt that they are any bigger than the one I lived in.
