It seems

the New World has sealed burners? Way ahead of the Yank's there. What are the things out the sides that look like the gas line input?
The Cowan Parkinson must have been council block flat builders grade?

Builders Grade

I presume it is the cooker in reply 27 you are thinking about and you are headed back to Ronan Point but you are barking up the wrong tree. Firstly, the explosion at Ronan Point was most likely started by a gas leak and not the cooker in the flat- the lady who lit the match that caused the explosion took the cooker to her new home. Secondly, there was no such thing as builders grade in the UK back then as it was EXTREMELY rare for builders to include appliances in a new home. Actually council flats generally had quite well laid out kitchens as they were standards set for public housing - my first home of my own in 1977 was a council flat built 8-10 years before and my brother moved into a brand new council house in 1974. Both had quite reasonable counter and cupboard space with ample room for cooker (remember the standard back the was 21 inches), fridge (or even 50/50 fridge freezer) and a twin tub washer. But no appliances were supplied with either kitchen.

I've got an

Osterizer blender like that.
Yes, Vacbear I figured the Ronan Point explosion was a gas leak, and I knew she took her old stove to her new place. No council houses were built with gas after that.
But what are those pipes out the sides? They look too narrow to be the gas connection. Ours here are as wide as a washing machine hose.
High density housing here in the states has mainly been a failure, and I'm not an advocate for it.
Except for NY city, where so many live in high rises, rich and others alike, they know how to manage them as they are private. Even Styuvesent village, which looks like a public housing project, but never was.
Chicago's and Detroit's are all memories to the wrecking balls by now.
