Row Houses (lemmy.ca)
submitted 1 year ago by Ulrich_the_Old@lemmy.ca to c/canada@lemmy.ca

In Britain after WWII there was a severe housing shortage and the solution they came up with was "row houses" basically large apartment blocks. The genius part of this was along with this you also got an allotment. A small parcel of land where you could garden and enjoy the outdoors.

We call them terraced houses, and just to clarify, they've been around for a lot longer than that.

I've got records of my family living in a terraced house in the 1881 census, and possibly earlier :)
