I have never seen anything like it. TBH living in a street like that would get to me.

Indeed, it would certainly need more than "Beecham's" to make life worth living and that's for sure. Still at least the kids in the photo only had toy guns back then.

Joking apart one set of my grandparents lived in a street like that... really doesn't seem that long ago.

I live in a house a bit like that (a Victorian terrace) but not as severe and it has a back yard. Coz of the urban regeneration going on in some British cities, if they're in the right place, they can get quite desirable, these days.

the side where i found the pictures, says that slums like that where hard reality till the end of 70´s.
people lives often without warm water or electricity.

I think what it is, is the fact there is no nature to be seen. Who ever built that viewed its residents as no more than organic work machines.

Indeed they did, most were built by the factory owners around their factories and if you lost your job, you lost your home as well.

Many later passed to private landlords, so meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

They were mostly modernised or demolished about that time, but you can still find them around in the North of England in particular.

Made some progress on my warbases pub tried to do a faded painted wall sign, not sure I got it right but I'm happy with it. Windows and roof to do.

Looks great. Looks like the perfect place for an organic work machine to recharge after a hard day of being exploited.

Going to try and have frosted glass at front tracing paper? I'm not using the back yard that came with it think I'll get a taller wall and use the yard I have for one of their terraced houses.

Nice work!

Tracing paper should probably work I think, or failing that grease-proof perhaps.

Your rear walls should be just high enough to stop the local tykes from climbing over them... it was a pocket money earner to climb over and steal empty glass bottles, and then go to the pub's 'outdoor' to claim the cash deposit back for returning them.

Looked for some tracing paper today no luck, grease proof I'll be liberating some of that later from the kitchen.

orm1 · « **Reply #72 on:** July 13, 2015, 11:08:43 PM »

Used some grease proof paper and some clear plastic on Windows chimneys on roof tiles to do.

Just found Charlie foxtrot models and they have some perfect stuff for seventies themed tables. Sorry being techno thick I can't do links.
