The view is from opposite Newman Street looking towards the public house on Stanley Road; the sandstone wall surrounded the old Stanley hospital. In the autumn of 1940, during an air raid an oil bomb landed against this wall, and took a very long time to reach the ground i.e. the plane must have been at a great height.
