Housing in the outlying residential sections of English New Towns has been criticized for looking somewhat drab, but it was new and functional when first constructed. |
These row homes have a nice grassy "set-back" from the street. Note the second sidewalk for going house- to-house. |
English New Towns are generally small in
size.
In most cases, it is not very far from the residential areas to the high rise buildings downtown. |
As trees and shrubs grew taller and filled out, the "sameness" of New Town housing became less noticeable. |
