MILNER ROAD, A MYSTERY

Here are the last of these houses, 85-87, both of which seem to be occupied at the time of the photographs. In spite of this, however, their condition looks very bad for houses built so recently, including broken windows. This could be due to problem tenants or to very poor workmanship by the builder – most likely a combination of the two. Whatever the reason these houses were closed within just a year or two of being built and remained so until 1914. Today, in 1968, they are still standing each occupied by a single family doubtless quite ignorant of the troubles which the houses experienced 57 years previously.
