James Gray: Derelict buildings in Eastern Road, looking east from Freshfield Road, on 5 April 1981. Demolition was proposed so that the cleared area could be added to the Freshfield Industrial Estate, and this process was started in late 1985. jgc_22_201
James Gray: These two houses, which faced south at right angles to the road were built about 1870 and were first known as 5 and 6 Park Road East. For many years laundresses, the laundries adjoining the houses, occupied them. Soon after the date of the photograph, 4 June 1961, the houses were demolished and the huge Southdown offices are now here. jgc_22_122
