The message
from Derek ^ contains these words:

The building regs used to require a kitchen to have a "Ventilated food
cupboard" which was usually located on an outside wall ventilated with
airbricks. I don't know if they still do.

If they did then every house on this estate fails to comply!

Seemingly having a "Ventilated food cupboard" was part of the criteria
used to decide whether a house was fit for habitation during the slum
clearances.

My house built 1976 had one.
