These two photographs of Albion Street were taken on 19 April 1956, soon after the clearance was agreed upon. Things move slowly nowadays with slum clearance and it was not until December, 1958 that the street was cleared. Albion Street, formerly called Richmond Row, was built about 1815, and although a poor street contained some good examples of flint and brick houses. This view looks north from Richmond Street.
