Nick and his son Merlyn with redevelopment ideas.
Frestonians were adamant that they wanted a mixture of work and living space. Many were artisans and needed workshops, which were unaffordable on the open market. There was also universal insistence that any redevelopment scheme should dispense with fenced plots and retain a single, enclosed communal garden.
The eventual redevelopment scheme did keep the communal garden, but built substantial light industrial workshop units which were too large and too expensive for Frestonians. They had really just wanted a dedicated workroom within their living space.
