to four and even three feet; while in many
instances it is further encroached upon by lateral
projections from the back addition itself, which in
some cases completely obstruct the direct vista
of the windows opening to the rear of the main
building.
It may be said, speaking generally, that
practically all the newer houses in Willesden
conform to one type, namely, a main building with
a back addition.
There are, of course, "square" and other
shaped buildings without back additions (see fig. i),
but these are the exception, especially among the
newer houses.
In some of the older houses the back addition
consists only of the domestic offices on the ground
floor, a mere series of outbuildings (see fig. 2).
Then we find that, in addition to these
domestic offices, the kitchen of the ground floor is
built out, with the offices beyond the kitchen or
vice versa (see fig. 3).
Later, as the occupancy of each floor by
separate families becomes increasingly the rule,
the b'...ck addition grows to two and three storeys
(figs. 4 to 6), and soon is added to the kitchen and
offices a bedroom with a corridor giving access to
the rooms and offices arranged serially from front
to back (figs 7 to 11).
