The houses, a mix of solid brick constructions and more modern dwellings, sit comfortably within their gardens, a quiet testament to lives lived and nurtured. Sunlight, especially in the late afternoon, paints the sky in hues of apricot and lavender, casting long shadows that stretch across the neighbourhood.
