James Gray: This photograph of August 29th, 1983, has one particularly interesting feature. This is the long recessed building, partially hidden by the tree. For some years this was an Almshouse run by a Mrs Bryant, dating back to when a slum street, Cumberland Place, was here. Together with other slum streets, this was demolished in 1896 and White Street was built, being named after Mr Edward White, Chairman of the Sanitary Committee. This long building was removed in November 1983, and the cleared site is now used as a car park. jgc_24_064
