| New housing in Lingshui, China |
Stretching as far as the eye can see in row upon row of arrow-straight uniformity, this development conjures up images of a concrete slum or a prison block rather than a plush new housing estate. They are among more than 1,000 grey houses, each spaced just a few feet apart, that have been built in Lingshui County in the Hainan Province of China. When I saw the photo above, I was reminded of the back-to-back housing in the county of Lancashire where I grew up (photo below). These were built to house working class textile mill workers and coal miners during the Industrial Revolution.....and now we see very similar housing developments in China.....a case of history repeating!
