Description:Bell Barn Road and Great Colmore Street, Lee Bank, from a large collection of photographs taken by the Public Works Department. Presumably clearance has already started as part of the great post-war redevelopment of the Lee Bank area, and so the date may be somewhere in the 1960s. The startling silhouette of the tree in the distance helps to give this photograph the look of a World War I battlefield scene.
