Following the demolition in the late 1960’s, of Nos. 145/147, Preston Road that can be seen on another page, I add this photograph taken on 11 October 1970. The advertisement led me to think that redevelopment was imminent and my main purpose was to get a picture of the Coach House at the end of the garden, a relic of Victorian residential days. The house, which formerly stood here, was named Holmwood. As I now write eighteen years later, in 1988, the site is still empty but doubtless something will be built here in the future.
