Most of the terraced housing in this area (dating I would expect from the 2nd half of the 19th century) has been or looks to be soon demolished. Here the west side of Balfour Street is in the process of being knocked down (a crew with a JCB was working behind the barriers on the left). It looks like the east side is to survive (either that or the owners of the house with the green sign do not have much chance of getting a buyer!)
