@PKYo@poweredbygay.social That reminds me, I should be writing to various MPs about cottages like those sold off by the #Bridgewater #Canal #Company at #PrestonBrook. The terrace, built in the late 1700s, was sold off one house at a time in the 1950s. They all had brick built privies clustered together in a #communal #yard. Because the remaining #tenants all needed access to the yard the canal company retained ownership and provided an annual licence to each purchaser permitting access to the communal area. There's no #lease. No #contract on #fees to be charged. The canal company can, it seems, charge what they like both to issue a #licence to a new #buyer of a #cottage and any #annual renewal #fee. We ought to be able to add some appropriate clauses onto any upcoming #legislation that gives owners of #leasehold #property the #righttobuy such communal ground. The attached map from 1894 shows the terrace and their privies and how two of the cottages don't even have space to hang out washing to dry.

@JugglingWithEggs@mstdn.social We got back to #Norfolk from our trip to #Cheshire last night, to find the remnants of #snow in a #plantpot beside the door. This morning we woke to find two plant troughs blown over. The third blew over in the other direction later this morning. Confirms that the #wind blows round our #yard in very #unpredictable ways.

Our back #garden, is surrounded by 9ft high #brick walls. I #tease my wife by calling it the #prison #exercise #yard. This week we had a 5x10ft #shed erected in a corner by the #garage BTW, I'm curious about the #bond used in the #wall. Does anyone have a name for it?
