North-east from Sidbury (1975)
Anonymous
The view north east from
Sidbury in 1975 along the line of City Walls Road. In
the background is Fownes glove factory, whilst to the
left is an early 19th century building which housed Clapton's
bakery. This was reconstructed as flats in 1989. The car
park in the photograph is on the site of a series of medieval
tenement properties and during the construction of the
road, a 14th century barrel-latrine was excavated here.
