Love Letters to Wellington

Red brick houses of Kiln Street
There is a street in Silverstream called Kiln Street where all the houses are identical and built of red brick. This is where all the workers from the old brick factory used to live.
I used to drive past these brick houses every morning and had no idea that was why there were so many on the street!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Wellington has a street of houses made of straw and another of houses made of sticks
ReplyDeleteNice story!

ReplyDeleteIt's hard to imagine any house - straw, stick or brick - surviving in Wellington with this wind!
