James Street led from the junction of Newmarket Road and Maids' Causeway to Fitzroy Street in the Kite, an area of small streets later developed into the Grafton Centre. The nearest three houses in this photograph survive; no 4 upwards were demolished and replaced by new council housing. Note the bricked-up property and the vintage vehicles parked on the small front "gardens" and encroaching on the pavement! For a view 40 years on see Image
