2019: This 2019 image was taken from the north end of Gleton Avenue looking north across Northease Drive and up Sherbourne Road. The church seen in the James Gray image is now obscured by housing, the building of which commenced in 1951 and formed the first part of the St Helen’s estate of mainly post war council flats. Housing in the road initially consisted of just twelve bungalows. (Photographer: Ian Farrell)
