I think they are the only houses left in the city with those raised pavement/landings. There was lots of them at one time. Some had house below the landings making them a sort of flats. I never figured out why they built them like that, raised up. It just doesn't seem logical to do so as it would have been cheaper putting them at ground level. Maybe something to do with rear entry access.
The church is St. Gabriels. The wrecked school was Beaufort St Board school. I think is it totally demolished now. It was listed but they allowed vandals to wreck the place.

The film These Dangerous Years, with Frankie Vaughan in, was filmed around there in the 1950s. Those two streets are forever having film crews filming around them.
