I meant to comment on post #316 and have only just got round to it. You can see the hi-rise flats in the background on the Lyndhurst but I can't remember exactly when this estate was built. Early 1960's is the nearest I can say so 1964 is about right. I would really like to see a picture of the buildings directly opposite to the library. I'm racking my brains to remember what was there before Blockbusters (now a gym).
Radiorails, your post #317 queries the green and part of it is still there only much altered. I'm pretty sure there was a patch of grass but although I go there quite often to visit the library I can't be absolutely sure (how sad is that?) They also put a large stone/concrete ball fountain there but some wag filled it with washing up liquid and the powers that be turned it off after the bubbles filled the surrounding area. They also installed stone benches which look quite attractive.
