The sign in the foreground proclaims this to be the "Daily Mail Model Village". Houses here were developed in the early 1920s, to help combat housing shortages following the First World War. The model village used a variety of designs and construction methods. The BBC website has more information: http://www.bbc.co.uk/ahistoryoftheworld/objects/ZgXOQEXeTFeg8jXw1G9tYA
