For some parts of England, yup.. Lots of cheap post-war housing I
believe. Our house is similar to all those down the street, altho we
have a back garden, no front garden to speak of, and the
outside/insides are diff.. the layout is the same tho..

We don't have the same sort of room to make diverse houses as other
countries do :) Have to use up all the space economically!
