This was my first home though, it was a bit different then. It’s now sheltered housing for retired folk. Back in the 1950’s it was called Temperance Place and was two rows of slum terraces separated by a patch of wasteland. The houses were two-up-two-downs. No bathroom – outside privy and a tin bath in the back yard.
The shadow of the old style gas streetlight is a fake. Lincoln once had beautifully elegant streetlights which were replaced in more recent times with clumsily designed fake olde-worlde versions – shadows of what they once were (see what I did there?).
