Riddings Road
Part of the council housing development of this part of Ludlow in the 1960s. Old maps show it to be along the route of Rock Lane, a track leading from Lower Galdeford to Rock Farm, only the lower part of which has retained the original name.

Riddings Road
1950s expansion of Ludlow along what was once known as Rock Lane. Riddings was a farm at the time. Land to the right of the picture was industrial, mainly a big depot and training facility for the Midlands Electricity Board. One of the current power companies still occupies some of the site.

Prefab.
Something for the nation to be proud of! Cheap, rapidly built houses from the 1940's. A near bankrupt nation's answer to the housing shortage in a land ravaged by war and bombing. They were only temporary structures, but were so well built that some still survive. Many have been refurbished with cladding, but the renovation here has left a building close in appearance to the original. Clee View, Ludlow.

Early 20th century maps call this road Sandpits Lane. These cottages stand out as different from the 1960s council house development of this part of Ludlow.

Ludlow Primary School
Opened in 1972 when St Lawrence (which I left that year) and Old Street merged. St Lawrence has since returned as a separate entity with a new school built on the Friar's Walk playing field.
