My group's favourite Murmur story was Fitzroy Terrace. This is a small alley that is actually residential. It was originally housing for the English workers in the area, but eventually the workers moved out and immigrants moved in permanently. The name "Fitzroy Terrace" gives the impression of an upscale street, yet these are far from affluent homes. These patchwork buildings have no yards, and are tucked away from the bustling street with barely enough room to park a car. I took a little walk down and snooped in on a couple reading the paper and having coffee with the windows wide open. I can appreciate this type of urban infill and am happy that this community wasn't wiped out for larger housing projects in the 60s.
