Description:A photograph taken during the development process. In the foreground is the site of the "new" St Thomas's School which replaced the Granville Street building. To the rear is the developing playing field area. The ever present spire of St Thomas's Church to the rear left anchors the picture. The building on Holloway Head to the middle rear (just in front of the running track) caused controversy as it survived demolition for a long time as the butchers there refused to leave.
