These houses could be in Newcastle, but they're not, they're in Cambridge.
I wish I knew an architectural historian who could tell me how housebuilding styles spread around the country.
Did architects travel around? Were there journals? Did everything come from London?

On a related note - pretentious names for housing developments. I thought the fad had subsided, but it seems to be alive and well here.
Near home there are ones called "Horizon" and "Opulence" (🤮)
Is it coming back? What's the fanciest one you've seen?

PS I'll take a "Quintessence" over pseudogeographical nonsense like "Charmington Mews" any day of the week
