Pictures from the CRANE




London Street and its back gardens is the main street visible, with Ferndale Street (formerly known as Back Street) behind, with Lansdown Road on the right hand side. The white house prominent on the left of the picture is on the corner of Stanford Rd. and London St. The large 'T'shaped building in the middle distance is Brackendale, a block of sheltered flats for the elderly. This replaced the old workhouse building which dominated Ferndale Street up until the 1960s.
