Bridge Street Image from Reeves Avenue. The houses 'across the road' in Bridge Street plus those in Reeves Avenue are all part of the same development that was constructed in the early years of the twenty first century. The site had been derelict for some years having been the former site of 'Reeve Burgess' a local engineering company that built small 'city style' buses, ambulances, etc. Reeves Burgess, in its latter years, was owned by Plaxtons, the coachbuilders near Scarborough. The parent company closed Reeve Burgess and moved the production to Scarborough.
