More about this scene

The next four photographs show the well-to-do suburb of Benhilton - served by the church of All Saints, built in 1865. The church tower can be seen in the centre of the view, which looks west along what is now called All Saints Road (in 1903 it was Benhill Road). The road is much changed with blocks of flats along the left side and semi- detached houses on the right. A commemorative plaque informs passers-by that these were built in 1958 by A J R Richards.
