Leicester Street and postbox
After the First World War "servicemen returned to the town to find that, despite a government promise, there were not enough houses and many had to live in condemned slums which often accommodated more people than when first built." Housing Acts were passed to enable a housing programme to be set up … "Leamington's first council houses were built using space standards and layout which are quite generous by present-day criteria. They were used as examples in the Housing Commissioners' Design Manual and were repeated almost exactly in later manuals until after the Second World War."
These are some of those first council houses on the north side of Leicester Street, completed 1921-2. The postbox ID is CV32 69. Quotes from Lyndon Cave: Royal Leamington Spa, a history: 2009.

Villiers Street, Leamington
On the skyline are houses in Rosewood Crescent, seen from the rear. The sharp change of level results from the excavation of clay for the former Leamington Brickworks. Leamington brick was larger than today's standard brick. It was a pleasing pale orange and is seen in older buildings, mostly in Leamington.
