More about this scene

We are looking towards the junction of High Row, Houndgate, Blackwellgate and Skinnergate. The street is dominated by the Italianate clock tower, paid for by Joseph Pease; along with the Town Hall and covered market, it was designed by Alfred Waterhouse and built in 1864. In this picture we also see the slope where the fat cattle market used to be held.

High Row Toilets

My uncle Maurice Walker installed the pipework for the urinals. He was working for Darlington Borough Council at the time. The urinals were huge, and the pipework was always shiny.
