These neat red-brick houses, named after Wolds villages south of Nottingham, front directly on to the street. My grandmother, born in the 1870s, lived in nearby Manvers Road in a house with a minute front garden and thought unfortunate social inferiors without front gardens were "a bit Exchange Road" - a tiny piece of Edwardian social snobbery my father used to like to tease her about.
