Gerard. This Torr Street looking down towards Clare Terrace according to Mandy. It's from a whole bunch of photies taken in that area in 1993. See it on an earlier posting on this thread and replied to later by Mandy.

Thanks, Ged.
More great historical photos. :handclap:
Thanks, i'll dig some more out, just sorting them into folders at last.
St. Martins cottages, the first municipal housing in Europe feature here on Silvester Street (1869-1977) next door is Archbishop Whiteside School with the church at the top of the picture.
To the far right, the next housing on the picture to be built in that area following the slum clearance programme were Portland Gardens in the 1930s (Burlington st tenements which stood opposite them were built a decade earlier but are not on the pic)
The lower, three storey standard units and the maisonettes of Ashfield st, Silvester st and St. Augustine street came next in the early 1950s followed closely by Blenheim and Tatlock towers (Blenheim shown here)

Yes, it's a cr@ppy pic but you can only go with the technology of the time i'm afraid. It's best if you click the pic bottom right and enlarge it a bit.
Great George Street area. These red doors go around the front aswell.
Wonder I never saw you Marky, was up there myself this afternoon. Weird that one, what's the story behind them?
I don't know the reason for the red doors, but now there's a big white marquee on the nearby wasteground. The doors on the front have little lights in them...should look nice in a night-shot.
By popular demand, emails and PM's, i've added another page to my website.
