I'm aware of quite a number of late Victorian/ early Edwardian properties
in London which are similar in construction to the Tyneside flats.
Locations of which I'm aware of are: South Ealing (S side of Darwin Road),
West Ealing (N of station), Bounds Green (S of North Circular). There may
be some also in Brentford just S of the Ealing border.

I think these are generally 1 bedroom flats with a living room at the
front, bedroom at the rear, kitchen in the return. Can't quite recall where
the bathroom was (estate agent particulars will help).

I've seen three storey system-built social housing with a ground floor flat
and two flats (not sure arrangement) above (often with access to upper
flats via a bridge over yards belonging to the GF flat). The ones on St
Ann's are terraces with 21 flats, so I've tended to map them as
building=apartments.

Regular two-storey maisonette blocks containing 4 single-level flats have
been built since the 30s: entrance arrangements vary. The one I used to own
had a small combined extension at the side for both front doors. This
improved access to the staircase for the upper flat by adding a small
lobby.

Jerry
