Many moons ago my working life started with a glazing company. Whilst I was never going to spend my days in a van the apprenticeship I was on meant you had to do a spell in all parts of the business so I had a few months of actually doing the glazing job.Our patch was Gloucestershire with a bit of Worcestershire and Wiltshire thrown in. Anyhow, one day we had a job in Cromwell Street.The initial visit was to make safe a broken window and we went back a week later to shove a new double glazed unit in. I got talking to the home owner (we were 3 doors down from the House of Horrors).He had lived there for years and recounted a tale where Fred the builder was skint one summer and did a load of gardening jobs for local residents. As the houses were old many had wells in the back garden and he filled them in.He was either winding me up or has a scoop that the rozzers didn't investigate.
Apparently West would always be pointing.

Cromwell Street was a constant building site, full of lean-tos and extensions, made up of stuff he'd steal from work and roundabout. It's fair to say that even without the obvious, he was a strange bloke.
