Voelas Street, Liverpool

One of the so-called Welsh Streets. And one of numerous streets of Victorian terraced houses condemned to, or at least slated for, demolition under the misguided 'Pathfinder' initiative which ran from 2002 to 2011. Liverpool seems to have been more afflicted than anywhere else. These houses have subsequently been restored (the mature trees were sacrificed in the process), and new houses built on the south end of the street which had already been cleared (Image]).
