the only thing that probably hasn't changed in english society since thos days shown in thos great pictures is the school sign.

In the black and white piccie the tower on the Spofforth pub can be seen. Behind it is the Microwave tower of the Gas Board offices. I worked there at that time. Many an afternoon had been spent in the Spofforth.

The houses were glazed yellow brick. most are still around today. The Gas Board offices are no more. Still there but unused.

the row nearest the ice cream van was demolished around 1973/74 as part of slum clearance

The house behind the lamp standard is subsiding and being propped up with wood.

Those hairstyles are back in fashion.

I'm sure I recognise it round there. Is the Grosvenor pub near there ?

The Grosvenor is up the other end of Lawrence Road, near Gainsborough Road.

That modern picture is actually Lawrence Road too isn't it? Where the new NHS Surgery is?

One other thing isn't Webster road the first road udner the CPO's? Aren't they meant to be razed in 2008?
