>>140314155Lovely place
Imagine the wife beating
>>140314155So many houses filled with Pakis and pajeets lol
>that one house with a roof solar panelsdid they forget that they live in england?
>>140314155>>140314523Is there room for one Brazilian immigrant in Grimsby?
>>140317675been telephone sales scammers their roof probably belongs to some Nigerian registered corp. now
>>140314523>Grimsby>is actually grimBravo UK
>>140314155>SOVLCRUSHING
>>140314523Richest part of England outside London
>>140314155Why are england houses built that way? Is it too much to add a little space between the houses instead of crammed together?
>>140314155But where are the parking lots?
>>140330502Most of the world is built much more dense than canada and the usa. We are the outliers. I think most cites predate the car and so were made dense enough for life on foot.
>>140330703I get that, i'm all for walkable cities personally, but wouldn't it be better to separate the houses like atleast 2½ to 3 feet? It doesn't have to be big, just a space to separate the walls between each house
>>140330754That space adds up, we already have a housing problem having fewer houses would just make it worse
>>140330754Fuck that, stack houses on top of houses like apartments. Houses are overrated as hell.
>>140330813I like how they do it Montreal. They feel more human scale than large apartment buildings.
>>140330860*it in Montreal.
>>140314523>pink shirtWould. Multiple times
the houses are so close to each other o.o
OP hereIt actually looks like this. Not too bad.Grimsby Town actually play just over the "border" in the adjoining town of Cleethorpes. Meanwhile 8th tier Cleethorpes Town play in Grimsby lel
>>140330933actually doenst look bad at all
>>140317675Even with the amount of sun britain gets, its still financially worth it to buy solar panels
>>140330948Don't get any ideas now
>carefully crops out the mcdonaldsevery time.
>>140330754semi detached / row house is infinitely less neighbor stress than having the cunts above / below you>t. noise complaint gatherer
>>140330754because two houses sharing a wall is cheaper than building two walls. which is important when it's 1948 and you're having to put up gigantic quantities of housing in order to replace the examples that the luftwaffe would have recently re-landscaped.it's also worthy of note that grimsby was then a fishing town at its height: so the houses would have been owned by fishermen who wouldn't be home for six, seven, eight weeks at a time while they were out catching icelandic cod, or atlantic herring.
>>140338762fishing boats didnt go out for 2 months at a time you tard. You needed to come back and empty the fuckers. And keep the fishwifes happy.
>>140338762>because two houses sharing a wall is cheaper than building two wallsPoverty
>>140338813i used to work with an ex-fisherman. two and a half weeks around iceland, and about four days' there and back on a can and a dram a day. some would go straight out on a second leg if the skipper wanted: you only got paid for being on the boat, so, some did, some didnt.>>140338941if you want to frame it that way, yeah
then the Cod Wars happened, the governments of the time decided nato bases were more important than the area's livelihood, and that was the end of that
>>140338941America, you really do not want an argument over national building standards here. Besides, Muricas full of row houses
hush, you. be nice.
>>140339008why were you stealing Icelands fish ?no wonder they got pissed.
>>140339056>>140339549just reading up on thisBelge/W.German bros - we need to get the gang back together and go show these volcanic Bjork-listening fuckers we'll fish wherever we damned well choose to
>>140339549because one day in the 1950s the icelandic government decided that actually their waters were now n+1 miles further out to sea than they were the other day, because (crossed arms, pouting face).-gunboats get involved-icelandic govt chucks teddy out the pram, threatens to kick out nato bases-nato shits underwear because who'll sweep for russian subs sneaking into the atlantic now??-it was the cold war, it made sense at the time-government decides nato bases are more important than their fishermen-time passes->>140314523 (filmed in tilbury lol)
anyway, laugh at the hollowed-out post-industrial shithole if you like. i'm sure you've a tale of a factory that closed down, or a company town that lost its company
>>140338941It's literally is and it's a cope to claim otherwise. Soul crushing socialism on steroids.
>>140338941doing things more efficiently is wealth though
>>140314155wow, I wonder why this grim shithole doesn't have a club that makes the same revenue as a big six PL. it's just not le fair, independent regulator NOW
>>140314155One tree for every 10 miles?
>>140339104see >>140314523>>140341121>If I reframe poverty as efficiency I win
>>140341306There's usually quite a good number of trees in towns and cities. The UK's percentage still needs to rise though.
>>140342130Are the buildings on the left where highbury used to be?
>>140342130That's Islington, tbf. They're all a bunch of tree hugging lefties there
>>140344218Yep, with a courtyard in the middle where the pitch was
>>140344218Highbury Square yup - where flats start at £850,000 and there's no space to kick a ball around:https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/22327186/living-in-old-football-stadium-highbury/
>>140344510>>140344651Thats pretty cool. I didnt realize the new and old stadium were so close to one another. Its nice that they kept some parts of the old stadium.
>>140347029it was listed, protected from demoliton - they never had any option but to keep two of the stands. Otherwise, theyd be demolished in a flash. Not sure if all the ashes etc that got buried/spread on the (original) Highbury pitch was also a problem. I'm also not that sure about the conversion personally either desu - it still looks like 4 stands except the focal point, the old pitch, is now dead space they did jackshit with. But doubtless better than demolishing everything. The architect, Archibald Leitch, built a fuckload of classic Bong stadia - think pretty much only one stand at Ibrox and some of Craven Cottage survives tho:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archibald_Leitch
VGH...
>>140344412I'm a chud and even I can appreciate the presence of green in towns unlike brutalist terraced shitholes like Grimsby
