This large area of old terraced houses is in the process of being demolished. In the past the people who lived here worked in the many large factories that used to be in the area, in more recent times quite a few of them have been occupied by immigrants from many parts of the world. On the other side of the hoarding the redevelopment is under way with the building of new town houses and apartments.
