A photograph of Midland Avenue looking towards Church Street taken in the late 1980s/early 1990s. Only the buildings in the far distance have changed as can be seen in the next picture.

Compared with the previous shot the photographer has moved further along Midland Avenue for this one taken in 1999. In the distance is the new residential block known as Albert Square which replaced the old school buildings which laterly had housed various local businesses.

This shot of properties at the northern end of Midland Avenue was taken c.2008. When the properties were first built, the original stretch of road leading to the level crossing would still be in situ, even though it had been made obsolete by the construction of the bridge in the 1880s which henceforth took vehicles and pedestrians over the railway. In more recent times a portion of the old road way has been commandeered in order to permit the construction of the detached property situated at the back of the earlier set of terrace properties.

The ground floor plan displayed here is taken from the architect's original drawings for three houses commissioned by Arthur Keetley, and drawn up by Frederick Ball & Lamb, architects. If you look carefully at the plan it will become evident that the end property originally had a shop unit incorporated into its design.
