Actually none of these is my house - we have large trees in our street that make it diffiicult to photograph the houses but they look just like these ones round the corner. They are victorian houses built on London clay so it's not uncommon to see them leaning to one side due to subsidence. My sister in law spent some time working on the computerisation of the British records office and so managed to get us a copy of the census return for our house for, I think, 1901. We found that each room in the house contained a whole family - one with three children! I never seem to have enough room just for the two of us. Makes me realise how lucky I am!

I've been searching for those papers all evening and can I find them....no!
