The photo on the left shows a row of old stone terrace houses, they were deemed unfit for occupation and demolished under a slum clearance act.
It is sad to think that now these properties would be renovated and be very desirable and expensive homes.
The site is now part of Morrison’s car park. The photo on the right looks from South View Road across to the supermarket car park and store, on the left.

Looking across cleared ground where properties on Starkey’s Field have been demolished, Morrison’s store and car park would be built partly on this land, the store opened in 1970. The gap in the buildings looks onto the High Street where W Stott’s Draper & Outfitter business can be seen.

We used to know this as Eddie Dennison’s field in the 30s, and all the local school fights took place after school here. It was variously known as Starkeys field as it was at the back of Starkeys Fold. We played various sports here and in 1939 Air raid shelters were dug at the bottom edge of this field which of course is now Morrison’s car park.
