There's a lot of spondoolies slopping round those parts, and the smallest Victorian cottages are well looked after.gom1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07201321705941282416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395883144047931311.post-276574395770679142009-08-30T13:42:42.039+01:002009-08-30T13:42:42.039+01:00I have had a couple trips to map depressing Victor...I have had a couple trips to map depressing Victorian terraces in Goole. Some have been boarded up ready for demolition. Most of what remains to be mapped in the town is much newer and a more pleasant place to live.<br /><br />Now, it's not fair to compare Victorian terraces to the cost-no-object, splendour of St. Pancras, but I don't think that all that is Victorian is better than modern stuff. It is also true that many modern houses could be much better designed too. Modern blank, soulless buildings in town centres certainly lack the pizazz of Victorian ones and it's also true that mapping modern estates with loads of short dead-ends is a pain.Chris Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02951528269028953589noreply@blogger.com
