James Gray: This photographs and the previous one [jgc_36_157] highlight the tortoise-like progress of building developments in the 1960s and 70s. Both photographs were taken on 2 March 1969. This photograph shows the junction of Sandringham Drive and Queen Mary Avenue. Now in January 1974, nearly five years later, the four houses are finished and occupied, while others have been built in the Drive, some occupied and others not, but the two roads are just being made up. jgc_36_158
James Gray: I had these three photographs [see also jgc_17_092 and 093 on the Woodland Avenue page] taken for me on 2 March 1969. The builder’s roads had not long been put in and it seemed that development would soon follow. This and the next photograph [jgc_17_092] look north-eastwards along Sandringham Drive, to its junction with Woodland Avenue, which was built over in the late 1970s. jgc_17_091
