James Gray: Although the slums of Claremont Row were swept away in 1935, the adjoining streets lingered on for another generation. On the left is Claremont Place looking north to Dinapore Street, on November 21st 1956. This stood about 50 yards east of the site of Claremont Row. It was demolished, along with Claremont Street, in 1959, as part of the Albion Hill Richmond Street redevelopment scheme. jgc_27_036
