Typical 'twitchell' of Nottingham City Council houses
Nottingham Borough Council built a huge number of council houses between the 1920s and the early 1950s. The bulk of them were built to a limited number of designs which can be found all over the city.
The eight houses here represent one of the commoner designs: a terrace of four houses with a central arch giving access to the back gardens of the central houses.
Houses grouped along a pedestrian footway (usually known locally as a twitchell) are also a characteristic feature of the design of the estates where most of this housing was built.
Also visible are the original picket fences: usually supplemented, as here, with privet hedges.

Garages at the back of Sherbrook Road
It's clear that virtually none of these has seen any use for a long time.

Some car dealerships are certainly not busy at present, and which this is one.
