1955

This shows the Northumberland Street (Mill Street Housing. Compulsory Purchase Order area and it was redeveloped some time between 1955 and 1965. It shows the South side of Northumberland Street, from Hughson Street (off shot left of screen) to Mill Street. Note the chemist on the corner of the photograph, this same shop is visible on the adjacent picture of Mill Street.

At the time of this photograph, Sidney Levy Wood ran a dental practice in the right hand building, No 68. Marky tells me that he moved to new premises housed in new corporation flats (built around. 1960), at the junction of Lamport Street and Northumberland Street. Mr Wood is recorded here from 1934 to 1962 but he is not in the 1966 Kelly for that year (data gathered in 1965). The new dental surgery was demolished in 2004 .
The rest of the buildings are assumed to number 70, 72 and 74. Most directories examined show no occupancy. In 1926-1938 , No 70 was William Sandman, hairdresser, in 1926 Mrs Anne Walsh, a licensed broker was next door. In that same year Robert Davies, a boot repairer was at 74a – note that there is clearly a boot and shoe repair business on the advertising in the 1955 photo.
