I took these photos in the late 1980s, two blocks of flats stand there now.

Yeah, that about sums it up for me as well, Damned Shame, that so many lovely old buildings have disappeared.
 
A lovely building by the great architect George Coles. Have you any photos without the photobubket logo? It spoils pictures I feel.
