i have just purchased a semi circa 1870, its in good shape apart from
some heavy decorating to be done. The joining semi has a nice bay
window, as do most of the houses in the road. Speaking to some of the
older residents, the previous owner actually removed the bay and
replaced with a flat window.

Probably done because a new flat window is an awful lot cheaper than a
new bay window!
