The view is across Loughborough Road and the Wyck Gardens open space. From right to left the blocks of maisonettes are Woolley House, Kettleby House and Kemble House. Barrington Road runs by the other ends of them. 19th-century maps show an area of small detached houses with gardens, large semi-detached houses and terraces – Angell Town. By 1951 some of the area had been cleared. These and other blocks first appear on a map of the period 1954-62. Magnificent.
