Date:1950 - 1955 (c.)

Description:A terrace of early 19th-century houses in Bristol Street, Lee Bank, probably photographed in the early 1950s. These quite handsome houses with their bay windows were all swept away during postwar redevelopment. From the lie of the land they must have been on the west side of Bristol Street. The van on the extreme right belongs to Victor Spencer Ltd, whose premises were at 28 & 30 Bristol Street, between Essex Street and Bromsgrove Street on the east side of Bristol Street, so maybe they had to park their van on the other side of the road.
