From a Post Card which depicted 'Before' and 'After' views of the scene.
This is the 'Before' view of the houses in front of St Wilfrid's Church, showing how they obscured the view of the church - and the Peace Gate, the flagpole of which can be seen above the right-hand row.
Local businessman JM Ainscough bought them, and had them demolished.
