Strangely enough I was just showing the visiting inlaws this site last night, after their trip to the Imperial War Museum yesterday.
I now live in a part of London which is a conservation area, which has lots of nice old houses and streets. But every two streets or so there is a not-as-attractive 50s/60s/70s house. I used to joke that these were 2nd World War bomb sites, but after seeing the map of bombs for the first time a few years back I realised that might not be far off the truth.
It certainly puts modern day complaints, such as the cost of housing and long working hours, into perspective.
