I too appreciate these colourful areas. In contrast I live in an area surrounded by significant wealth . Large lots, house scripted to “craftsman” style, front yards with “rules” as to which trees u may plant or not. “They” love it! Does it beckon one to stroll there? Not me. The spiritual vacuousness pulls at your skin.

Quite the contrast with the Smart Garden Scheme Big Brother poster and the Victory Garden of old. Speaks volumes, as they say. I love the title and how you came across it. I'd be tempted to move to Ferryhill and purchase one of the derelict buildings.

Once again inspiration to try a bit of photography when visiting town boards and city councils in upcoming days to bring a bit of life into the stories. Lovely writing, too.
