From a Post Card which depicted 'Before' and 'After' views of the scene.
This is the 'After' view - the cottages have gone, St Wilfrid's and the Peace Gate are revealed - and the Council has tarted the place up - placing a cover over the well, and walling and landscaping where the houses stood. The view is very similar today.
