The future left Ol Blighty because of neglect. ;) :lol:

In Austria we have plenty of houses similar to this style. Nowadays with decent insulation and triple-glasing, etc.
Yes I am a nerd: I am researching the Austrian Mini-racing scene of the 60s and 70s :ugeek:

Garage is still there they’ve just gone with naff upvc. People can really ruin a great bit of architecture. Birmingham library was fab when I was little then they ruined it by putting shops in the open atrium coz every bit of brilliant architecture is improved by adding a McDonald’s!
