Road junction at Holly Hill Gardens
Junction of the East and West sections. This part of the large South Stanley estate was built in the early 1950's as part of the large programme of council house building undertaken post war. These were excellent houses at the time, and still are.

View up Engels Terrace, South Stanley
Terraced bungalows built up the steep slope of the hillside below Stanley town Centre. The houses were built by Stanley Town Council sometime between the 1930-40's I think. As the name indicates, it was a staunchly Labour authority.
