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.

Stone house on East Stanley Estate
This house looks a bit out of place on this 1960's housing estate, but was here first. A plaque on the front wall states that it was built by William Bell in 1954-55, on what would have been an open site. Billy Bell was a well known local scrap man made good. The name Stanley Hall is taken from an old manor house which stood very near this spot from medieval times until the 1930's when it was demolished.
