Default Brent Terrace, Cricklewood - a bit backward!
Unless I'm very much mistaken, it was Helen Deborah Vecht
), in message
who said:

Horizontal Subsidence.

The houses were originally facing the east side of the road in the
conventional fashion, but 'sank' several yards westwards in the
1970s. Although all the buildings have now successfully crossed the
road, any further subsidence will see them fouling the railway
tracks, which would result in a deeply unsatisfactory situation.

It's a well-documented problem, plagued Brent council for years.


Umm.. isn't (Midland) Brent Terrace in LB Barnet?


Well it might be /now/.

Horizontal Subsidence is a serious problem.
