While living in the UK, I found that many of the buildings are like the one pictured from front and back above. The facade in front looks proper and clean, with little obstruction and a fresh looking coat of paint. From the back, you find cars, cracks, and old paint, with ugly railings and a mix and match of bricks revealing years of construction and remodelling work. Examples like this could be found in any street of the country. It is deceptive to a newcomer who may never see the seedy backend of the places they visit. The tourist will leave with a false impression. It is only when you get past the front end that you realize that there is a lot under the surface that people from the street view are never meant to see.
