The end of Douglas Street/Queen Street

Queen Street originally ran from the junction of Dowson Road and Market Street to Lumn Road through the James North leather works. After the factory was demolished following closure in the 1990s, Greenfield School was built across the Market Street end of the road. An estate of new houses was built on the rest of the factory site. The Eastern end of Queen Street was renamed Douglas Street, the continuation of a street that previously ran at right angles to Queen Street. The access on to Lumn Road has been blocked off.
