Interesting cottage in Illingworth
To appreciate the poor urbanism of the past 100 years, as a result of the housing production line, and car based lifestyle, Illingworth village to the north of Halifax is the place to go. Endless cul-de-sacs atop a windswept moor demonstrate that the concept of a ‘housing crisis’ has always been fed to us, and will never go away. This will always be the recourse of developers.

Oh my how the cottages have fell into disrepair.When I was a lad the cottage nearest the alleyway belonged to Mrs Gammage an old lady who grew rhubarb.The cottage next door was actually a wash house with a copper boiler and a mangle.
