James Gray: Seen here on a sunny Sunday morning 12 February 1967, this appears to be a street of trim little houses, but many of these buildings were already under sentence of death. All the residential properties were on the west side and the many empty spaces now tell their story. jgc_25_127
2018: Gray’s prediction over 50 years ago was largely correct but a few residential properties on the west side (1a, 2 and 3) have survived. The large-scale street art on the west side of the street have become a tourist attraction but will disappear once the vacant lots are filled by the construction of 12 new council houses. On the east side, the Argus building, until 1992 the headquarters of the Argus newspaper, is now the Argus Lofts, with workspace on the ground floor and apartments above. (Photographer: David Jackson)
