The house I grew up in, built in the mid 60's had the open tread wood stairs. Fell down them top to bottom several times as a wain. Might explain a lot come to think of it.
I believe young me once fell/slid all the way down at which point my Mum demanded that the polishing stopped. Apparently the parquet bathroom floor also got the Pledge treatment, so that the bath and toilet mats slid across it like they were on ice if you stood on them wrong 😂
