We live in a small village in Suffolk which is mostly made up of land
settlement association housing built in the 1920s and 1930s to rehouse
and give jobs to unemployed miners.

The house numbers are simply the land settlement plot numbers starting
at 1 at one end of the village and running to 50 or so at the other
end.  Each road just has some of the numbers, our road runs from 30 to
46. Just to add to the fun the numbers are not (quite) in order along
the road.  It keeps delivery drivers on their toes!  :-)
