In 1901 the residents of Gwyder Street included a monthly nurse, a tea packer, an elementary school teacher, a fishmonger, a butcher and a shoemaker. So a variety of 'skilled workers' in other words. The street was built in sections from 1869 to the 1880s and the houses were built by different builders so there is variation - as opposed to northern towns where the houses in a terraced street are identical. Now the area is expensive and increasingly out of reach of nurses and teachers etc but it's still Bohemian and is favoured by university lecturers etc.
Meanwhile I had a lovely walk with @lucypics and reluctant dog this morning...
Fabulous perspective. I have just checked out the house prices in Gwydir Street and they make your eyes water. Why are such small houses so expensive? You could get a waterfront property here in our area for those prices.
@onewing shortage of housing mostly - and they're handy for the university and the railway station and commuting to London. Parking is a nightmare but then most people go around by bike.
Oh, the leaning bike is a beautiful quintessential shot. i love the history info you put along with it. i'd like to see the variation of dwellings too.
