The end of a late Victorian terrace in Haggar Street. The arched entrance leads through to a near derelict enclosed area of what might originally have been small industrial workshops behind the houses. Local information about these industries will be appreciated. Note 6.11.2015 Was the arch at the end a drayman's entrance to a demolished public house? What was its name. This used to be part of Cross Street South before the 1960s. Was the house with the blue blinds a butcher's shop? Who owned it? The white protective covering of the Phoenix Rise tower block, presently undergoing demolition can be seen on the right. The grassy area just beyond the archway has replaced an earlier demolition programme of old housing.
