James Gray: Old houses in Gloucester Street, photographed in October 1958, and since demolished. The others show each end of Gloucester Passage, which still remains though it will have to go when this area is subject to comprehensive redevelopment. jgc_25_200
2018: Both images shows Gloucester Passage shot from the Gloucester Road end, with the passageway through to Gloucester Street visible on the far left of each photograph. Some of the old cottages remain – No 2 (west of passage) and No 7 (east of passage). The Eagle Pub occupies the south end corner of the courtyard and the north end leads from Gloucester Passage into Gloucester Street. (Photographer: Mary Allison)

2018: Gloucester Passage has survived: the passageway here in Gloucester Street (between Nos 11 and 12) leads to a small number of cottages and work units (seen in jgc_25_200) before opening out into Gloucester Road. In 2018, like many walls in the North Laine, graffiti and posters spoil the view of this passage which dates back to the 1820s. (Photographer: Mary Allison)
