How did local government / the council come to own Victorian terraces in London?
Good question; and how did they all go?
That one's easier - Thatcher.
The landlady at the pub I used to work in bought a Victorian town house off Islington council in the 1980s after Right to Buy. She's probably a property millionaire now. And she was pretty pro-Thatcher for a woman from Tipperary.
