Looking down the length of Durham Road, South Stanley
The suburb of South Stanley occupies the hillside below the town centre. The first council houses were built here in the 1930's I believe, and further estates were built in the 40's and early 50's. More were added in the later 20th century.

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.

Footbridge in the woods
This is a footbridge over Stanley Burn in South Stanley Wood. The paths here have obviously been tidied up lately, and it was encouraging to see a lack of any obvious vandalism, considering the wood is on the edge of a very large housing estate.

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.
