Northway and Barwick Street junction

The street called Northway was created in the 1930s in order to improve traffic links from the South cliff area, across Valley Bridge, to the north side. Demolition started in 1930 and at this point Lower Albion Street was greatly altered by the removal of a large house and garden called Westbrook; houses on the south side of what was Lower Albion Road remain on the spur road beyond the junction with Barwick Street but are now numbered in Northway. This realignment created a triangular green space where the trees are.
