Birdport with Bull Entry leading off to the left about 1900.
The building on the far corner of Bull Entry (left, middle ground)
was Webb's Horse Hair factory which was established in 1865 for
the production of high quality horsehair carpets. The area was demolished
as part of a slum clearance during the 1930's, while the line of
Birdport was changed during the 1940's to become Deansway. Bull
Entry still exists, but now as a driveway which runs behind the
College of Technology's St Wulstan's building - originally built
as a police station in 1939.
