Link Top, where Newtown Road meets Worcester Road. Many of the buildings shown here have been structurally altered, but remain recognisable.
Link Terrace, long since demolished. For many years the site was occupied by a garage, but today new houses of similar size and style have been built.
A scene of commercial activity. Note the many painted advertisments on the shop fronts. In the distance one can make out the terraces that were demolished to make way for modern housing.

A little further down Newtown Road that the previous picture. The buildings in the foreground have changed very little. Again note the demolished terraces.
Showing housing built in the last years of the 19th Century and the early 20th Century. A tranquil scene, that differs greatly from the parked cars and road calming measures today.
ca. 1907
