"The terrace came into being across northern Europe and the Lowlands but it was kept in England more than anywhere else," he says. "In dense towns on the Continent and in Scotland, they tended to build flats, but in England the terrace remained the most common type of house." The terraced townhouses in Kensington and Chelsea are some of the most exclusive in the capital. But their tall narrow style with lots of bedrooms yet comparatively small receptions areas do not lend themselves to today's fashion for open-plan lateral living. "I like terraces," he says. "They look nice because of their uniformity. I like that link back to the Victorian and Edwardians who built those great train stations and museums and the streets that join them together." The Government maintains that the eventual demolition of more than 6,800 Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Liverpool and their replacement with modern housing will bring about environmental and economic improvements. Many residents occupying houses due to be demolished are far from convinced.
