Backs are sometimes a more illuminating subject than their associated streets. Once again, the issue here is dustbins. In olden times, when one dustbin sufficed for the weekly output of houses, it was zealously guarded in the back-yard. Now, with up to four bins per household there simply isn't room inside to look after them all. At least the backs contain the menace, unlike other less-favoured areas with only 'fronts'.
