Built by the council

Built as council houses in the late 1930s, this short terrace is visually arresting, with a mix of textures and offset roofs. It looks like I wasn't holding the camera level. I was. There is an iron rod fence in the right foreground and a road sign to confirm it. They do stand at this jaunty angle. "The Council" would have been South Kesteven Rural District Council who had an enviable record of constructing homes for working people in the villages.
