James Gray: The large ten roomed bungalow which faced slightly north-east, with its rear towards the entrance to the nurseries. At the time of its removal in 1965 it was said to be about 100 years old and to have been built before the nurseries were opened. jgc_26_033

James Gray: A view of four of the fourteen glass houses which with sheds, frames water tanks, flower tubs etc. made up this busy and very popular area. I cannot remember exactly the location of this photograph, which like the others was taken in 1965. jgc_26_034
