A most awful, depressing place. How long ago were you there?

I think the last time I visited it was in 1975 when an Australian architect/town planner friend and his family were living there. The architect was working for the Milton Keynes Council. He didn't find it awful or depressing - it was tolerably well planned.
He was a bit rude about the "set-square architecture". Apparently there was a strip of three and four storey terrace houses that had  flat roof line while the ground on which they were built went up and down, and the building went from three to four storeys to absorb the variation.
The Open University is based there - not the sort of thing you would approved of.
