Hi Ray Great photos again! This one reminds me of Parliament street, which I visited on my newspaper round in the early 60's Pete

Tightly packed housing, seperated by the road.

One of the main reasons for 'slum type' neglected properties, was the policy of moving families out individually, those that were kept waiting were in amongst the empty properties, and the squalor that is created.

Look at the back / centre of this picture, people are still living in these terrible conditions, hence the washing line.

It beggars belief that people were expected to live in properties that were classified as slums, and were probably rat infested.

I cannot add a caption to this picture, lets just hope they grew up and made it' big style'.

Certainly makes you think. I would guess that the colour photos are polaroids - so kudos to the original owner for keeping them in good condition. From what few vehicles I can make out, and that faded colour polaroid look, I´d guess late 60´s to early ´70´s. Probably about right. Theres a gas lamp on reply No. 8, and the back end of a Mk2 Cortina Estate on another, so after 66, I cant remember any gas lamps later than about 1968, although I could be wrong.

I didn´t want to committ myself to identifying the car from its part back end - but I also guessed it was either a mk1 or mk 2 Cortina estate - or possibly a Sunbeam Rapier. But we both agree on the rough period. Much of Grange Road/Green Lane and Bertram Road looked like these pictures by the mid 70´s. Mk1 had slightly different rear lamps and the angled shape on the tailgate was lower. + its a Mk2 period colour.
