Built on the site of the Elim church in King Street, this block of flats was constructed as part of the redevelopment of the Alder school after it was closed. The alley to the left passed between the church and the school wall and was a popular venue for after school fights. This photo is taken from the approximate location of the schools rear gate - now an alley into the rest of the estate. The branches in the foreground belong to a London Plane tree (Platinus X Hispanica). Its globular seed heads are visible - the seeds are not normally fertile and almost all London Plane trees are produced from cuttings.
