A good friend of mine moved with his family to the Perry Common/Warren Farm area in the 1950's. It was very much better than where they used to live, in Newtown. Unfortunately their new house, dating from just before the war, was jerry-built down to a price rather than up to a standard. I remember going there and his dad complaining that he couldn't get paper to stick to the walls because of the damp. They moved out again fairly quickly. The house and its entire street was demolished maybe 3 or 4 years ago, and new properties built which, I would hope, are a darn sight better. If it's old, it doesn't necessarily follow that it's good. Otherwise we'd all still be living in 2-up, 2-down back-to-backs.........with outside toilets. Time moves on.
