Where is this? #19 Street Scene
« on: Thursday 10 November 16 09:55 GMT (UK) »
Perhaps a bit of a long shot this one - does anyone recognise this street scene?  I suspect that the photograph I have is a later print of an earlier photo, so things are a bit fuzzy.  :-\

Are there any hints from the styles of the buildings as to which part of the country/world this is?

As always, huge thanks for your contributions and thoughts.

I wonder what was in the buckets beside the fence?

The house on the left is partially tile-hung which made me think of Sussex  :-\

Historically, tile hanging is particularly associated with Kent, Surrey and Sussex, but it is also used in parts of Hampshire, Berkshire, Wiltshire and Buckinghamshire

So plenty to work with there  ::)

Is it just me or has this been posted and identified by someone quite some time ago?

   I was wondering if it was "night soil"    as it was politely called.

If they did, I don't think it was me - I've just had to scan it in now.  But, as I said, I think my photograph is a later copy of an earlier photo so it is possible that someone else has the same image.  I did do a google search on the image to see if anything came up straight away, which it didn't.
