I did read that Brookside owned "13 houses"- though that would depend on the definition of house, whether they classed the semis and triples as one house or two/three. Considering that bloke is shouting from one of the off-close houses, that would suggest the former, which means they probably owned around half of the houses that weren't on the close itself!

I wonder if they moved some facilities away from the houses when they opened all the stuff in Childwall? Probably little need to have things like the post production, accounting, admin etc. actually on the close once they had those facilities.
