Gardens Close, Upton-upon-Severn
A small development of semi-detached (probably council) houses.
I expect these date from the post WWI social housing boom of the 1920s.
Not built with car ownership in mind.

Minge Lane houses, Upton-upon-Severn
From the corner of School Lane. In February 2014, the Daily Mirror listed Minge Lane in Upton-upon-Severn as number 1 in the top ten rudest street names in the country, based on the negative impact they have on house prices in the street compared with similar properties in nearby streets.
The Mirror's statement that names now seen as rude are because "town planners dream up daft names" is untrue in many cases, where the name may be of medieval origin. A local history source states that this Minge Lane is of at least early 19th century origin, perhaps earlier. The first recorded use of the vulgar meaning of the word is about a century later.
