Walled front gardens on Lordship Lane

[Townleygreen]

Hey guys, what's with the large-ish houses on LL (near the Plough shops, on the right as you go towards it) which nearly all have 8 foot walls around their front gardens? Plus equally high gates? Anybody know why? Just idle curiosity on my part.

er - they want a bit of privacy and security from burglars?

[Ant]

Maybe they were fed up with people chucking rubbish into their front gardens?

It gives an air of grandeur and mystery - and shuts out the riff raff!

Keeps foxes out?!?!? Do the walss smell of human urine? ;-)

Mr Keef!

Do you think that Mr Keef will be reincarnated? as a Fox, in his next life - or was he one in his previous life?
