Posh and average streets

[northwichcat]

In Knutsford there's a road called Manor Park North starting at a junction with a main road and if you continue down it it becomes Manor Park South before rejoining the main road.

Manor Park North has some council houses and an under-performing primary school, along with a regular bus service. The houses (whether they are council houses or not) don't generally have drives or garages so there's generally parked cars everywhere.

Manor Park South has posher houses, the best performing primary school in the town, no bus service and as the houses generally all have drives and garages there's nothing parked on the road. There's also some large trees planted in the street.

Are there many other roads around the country similar to this?

...what does it prove..
I have lived in five different residences which include a flat, a terraced house, a detached house,
A mixture of rental or privately owned properties
Some without garage. some with a garage,
None of the roads I lived in had a bus service.
Am I posh or average..?
Because I live in the South East people automatically think I am posh....

high density housing is more likely to have a bus service

I listened to a program on the radio about Portobello Road (I think). It has some of the poorest people in London living up one end, and it goes to the other end with £5m+ houses.

My friend lived in an ex-council block in Roehampton that was very rough - yet walk 20 paces through a bollarded off road and you were into Richmond Park and the mansions that adjoin them.

You do get it a lot in London - the difference between rich and poor can be the width of a single street.
