I haven't got citations, but I know from experience (I used to live in one) that Bradford still has quite a lot of back-to-backs, either renovated into through-terraces or in their original form. The district around the university especially. The Bradford Museum also has a rebuilt row, showing their usage from the Victorian age to 1950s. This might be useful info, but I haven't got references at hand. If anyone can find them, it'd probably improve the article. -- Filipek ( talk) 00:04, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
While I am delighted that the article has reached GA, I am concerned by one edit. It trims a long quote I added from Hansard. No doubt it needed to be trimmed, but it has been done in a way which obscures the difference between the MP's own 1959 words, and his "reading into the record" of a medical officer's report during WWI. I'm not sure how to ameliorate this, without adding unwelcome length. Perhaps:
It isn't a particularly elegant solution, as it breaks the blockquote, but at least it distinguishes the two sources of opinion. Carbon Caryatid ( talk) 09:38, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
Is the Birmingham example the last courtyard example surviving or isn't it? Apparently, the BBC says it is, but the next paragraph implies otherwise. 86.5.88.131 ( talk) 07:15, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
Some of the text on heritage value sounds, frankly, like advertising for the cause. As do the comments about relaxing building regulations. There are surely downsides here e.g. that whatever modcons you put in, you still have ventilation issues with only one exterior wall etc. I'm damn sure there are people who want building regulations further relaxed, but that's only one side. 86.5.88.131 ( talk) 07:19, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
The article describes this as UK housing, but all the examples are English. Was this form of housing found in the other countries of the UK? 86.5.88.131 ( talk) 07:22, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
