Date:1st of February 1934

Description:Although the original caption to this Public Works Department photograph calls it 35 Bell Barn Road, Lee Bank, the address does not appear in Kelly's Directory. However, when this photograph was taken on 1 February 1934 several small streets, terraces and courts opened off Bell Barn Road and Mr Robert Jones had a shop at no. 34, which was on the corner of Chequer's Grove. It does seem that we are looking into one of these old courts, with housing just discernible on either side. The washing bears this out. As the numbering in Bell Barn Road is continuous on each side of the road no. 35 may be on the other side of the alleyway. It should be noted that Bell Barn Road in 1934 was much longer than the present road.
