Holland Street in the early fifties brings back some memories for me.

I used to go out with a girl (Rose Griffiths) who lived at number 2.

Aw thats sad, just been looking at the gallery all those houses have some history & memories for those who lived there, 19th century houses quite a heritage to be replaced with modern boxes with no character, tho the flip side is that once delapidated its an eyesore dependant on point of view, when i was a kid & they did a clearance in so called slum areas, tho dangerous but kids are kids & im nosey by nature, went in a few of them just to nosey at the funny old wallpaper & layouts, thinking in Lloyd Grossmans - who'd lived in a house like this, when it was in its prime.

Gets you thinking.... nice pics Mick, will you be documenting the pheonix projects before & after, tho nice to see them before they go sort of thing
