Indeed.Â* I was about to point out to Harry that he seemed to have

Our area has Victorian houses (and some much earlier), but most was
built in the 1930s.

Even up to the pushing of soakaways of the last few years, new housing
in the area still had to be connected to the existing combined sewer
system, so no segregation of anything.
