![The house of the whaling station manager at Husvik, South Georgia. This shows the house in late winter and surrounded by snow. It was declared a "safe House" after the 1980 Falkland Conflict and was used by British Army Patrols as short-term overnight accommodation. It was then taken over by the British Antarctic Survey as a field station used by researcher in summer. This was where Shackleton departed from when he made his first attempt to rescue his men from Eelphant Island.](images/thumbs/1076839.jpg "The house of the whaling station manager at Husvik, South Georgia.

![Kings can have their palaces, but the Princes of Church Road, Corringham, Essex, have their own omnibus. A home of their own was always their desire and the next best thing to a streetcar was an old double deck bus which Mr. J. Prince set about converting after living with in-laws at High Wycombe. The bus now has a downstairs kitchen and living room divided by a sliding door, and two bedrooms upstairs still in the process of completion. Photo shows "Alight here for washing". Mrs Prince does the family washing and hangs it on a line fixed to her mobile mansion - the double deck bus. - 24th March 1950.<br>©TopFoto](images/thumbs/1053120.jpg "Kings can have their palaces, but the Princes of Church Road, Corringham, Essex, have their own omnibus.

![Could you live in a space just 30 metres square? "People do in Japan," says the workman unveiling the cramped living quarters installed in the window of Selfridges department store on London's Oxford Street.Along with many cities, London has a lack of affordable housing with the first rung of the property ladder beyond the grasp of many of those vital to the capital. At around £100,000, the Microflat - a double bed, kitchen, bathroom and lounge in one bite-sized home - could be their saviour and help remedy London's shortfall of nurses (4,000) and teachers (800). Far from being a cynical ploy by property developers to peddle shoeboxes to the desperate, the Microflat is the brainchild of two young architects who were themselves priced out of urban housing. "We've been working for eight years," says Stuart Piercy, "and looked around our office of 18 people and saw that no one had been able to afford their own place. Would-be tenants may be means tested to qualify for a Microflat and re-sale will be controlled to prevent the homes becoming pieds-a-terre for the rich. Mr Piercy and his co-designer, Richard Conner, are betting that young people will forego cat-swinging space so as to be within walking distance of work and a short stagger from cocktail bars. "It would be hard to persuade someone moving from the country that they should live in such a small space, but once they'd been in London a while I'm sure they'd come round to the idea."
