Bungalows in Gladstone Street

There is a German company called Faller that makes its money selling kits for buildings for model railways. Their trick is to find a 'typical' building of a particular type and model that. They'd have a really hard time with English Bungalows. They are some of the most individual buildings around. Even when Parker Brothers built rows of them on the Westfield estate, they made them look a little different. When, as here, they were built individually they started off different and then got more different as people customised them.
