Another well photographed location, this view from a postcard included the information that the gentleman in the foreground was ‘Kind George’; so named as he was the Relieving Officer. Part of his duties included doling our parish relief. A road sweeper is busy in the gutter, hauling his barrow behind him; the billboard on the end of Springhead Terrace has long gone. The telephone pole jutting out onto the road (now where there is pavement) at the end of St Hilda’s Place, was the cause of many road accidents.
