Researching the old High Level line in Halifax, I found some aerial photos from the 30s, and noticed something odd about the houses which back on to the railway.

There are tall poles with boards attached, seemingly corresponding with the house windows, but several feet from the wall. What on earth are they for?
The windows face east, so the boards could be some sort of sunshade, but they seem too small and too far from the windows to be effective.
Any ideas?
