I haven't been 'told' what type of housing it is, I have guessed and I'm still not entirely sure. I haven't started a thread about this type of house before. Previous threads I may have started were regarding (what I now believe to be) Wimpey no-fines houses built post war.carefullycautious wrote: »Why have you started another thread when you have already been told what type of housing it is?
Also all you need to do is ask the local authority and they will tell you
But anyway my question is about what they are like to live in and maintain. What types of issues people face with them etc.Changing the world, one sarcastic comment at a time.0 -
Most 1930's houses were of a spacious design, with gardens and a complete contrast to small cramped housing that had been but in the previous couple of decades. They weren't necessarily cavity wall, though double thickness brick, there were a few different styles of building the walls, and one was a very small cavity.
If they are 1930's housing then most likely won't be cement based, these type were done post war when they needed to build a large number of housing.0
