Northgate, West Sussex

The shopping parade and flats at Woodfield Road, Northgate

... that when the shopping parade and accompanying flats (pictured) in Northgate, West Sussex were first built, every flat was mistakenly given the same door lock and key? Source: Covered both by Green & Allan (1993) p82 and by Cole (2004) p97, but most easily quotable from the latter, which is the caption to an image of the Northgate shopping parade: "Sometimes in the construction of the New Town things weren't thought out too clearly. Amusingly the pharmacy, not the post office, had the pillar box, and the flats above all had the same front door keys.."

Comment: Expanded from a stub as part of The Great Britain and Ireland Destubathon March contest.

5x expanded by Hassocks5489 (talk). Self-nominated at 22:43, 11 March 2020 (UTC).

Y Article is more than 5x expanded, nominated on time (expansion started 10 March, nominated 11 March), and article is within policy
Y Hook is short enough, interesting, and well-cited (AGF on offline sources)
Y Image is freely licenced, good quality, looks good at low resolution, and is used in article (in infobox). Up to the promoter whether they actually want to use image or not, as it is a shopping centre and a block of flats
Y QPQ done
Overall, this nomination passes, congratulations. Joseph2302 (talk) 19:18, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
