View submission: Can Anyone Explain How This Happened?

Last time I had checked why. It’s because it was simpler and cheaper to do it this way. On other houses with a converted loft. They couldn’t move the gutter

Yeah, a few people saying that. Obviously cheaper but still odd in the greater scheme of things when it was first built. Plenty of more (or at least similar ) intricate roofs / gutters in tenements in Marchmont for example where that wasn't done.

Also funny as roofing is shared / common grounds within tenements but the top floor residents get to "enjoy" a gutter running directly across the view 😂.
