Let's not forget the area just across the road, nearer to Church traffic lights.
An area where once stood for a hundred years, well built stone houses.
They were demolished in the late seventies.
The eighties saw 'new and modern homes' built on the site.
Twenty years they were demolished.
We'll just have to wait with bated breath, to see what they throw up there next.
Whatever it is, won't be as solidly built as what originally stood there.
