It suggests, instead, a somewhat tumble-down place, along the lines of a "beach shack! --- End quote --- Truth be told, I think British ones tend towards that nature from the examples that I've seen. A lot were thrown up comparatively quickly as desperately needed post-WWII housing and time has not been kind to them. Not all of them, I have seen some respectable examples. |
