Good grief. When I left the area, I don't think there were more than 20 cars in the whole village.
I know when my dad got his first car after the War (about 1951) we were the only ones on the block who had one, and my uncle Bill was the only one on
his block, up the road, who did. They both parked off-road, at the back. The trouble is, knowing the area so well, there will be nowhere at the back of the houses to park cars as the back lane is only 1 car wide.
Going off thread a bit, I wonder if it's like where my son lives, on the outskirts of Manchester/Oldham. It's a narrow street lined with victorian terraced houses (lovely area - if you can take the steep hills). Each house's residents have a narrow space in which to park - my son has a van and his wife has a car - so they have to park nose to tail all down the street. His neighbours can get very shirty if a visitor parks in their "spec". I'm a coward - I park round the corner.
No room for tram lines in West End now, then?
