Great picture. Hopefully they are clearing all the weeds & brambles out of the garden area to stop any more wall falling down.A side view photo of the house on the junction of Bridge Street and Holliday Street today with the redevelopment activity at Arena Central in the background across the road. I had allows assumed it was part of a longer terrace but after reading the thread it seems to have always been just the single house. I wonder if the land it stands on belongs to one of the developments or is separately owned?
Love these pictures, not only do they show the cottage, they also show what used to be where my place of work is.Just for interest ...

Thanks for the old photos. Its interesting to see how the area used to be. For a good view of the building from the other side as it sits just outside the Arena Central development today you can zoom in on the live camera atLove these pictures, not only do they show the cottage, they also show what used to be where my place of work is.
It's the Blockbusters buildings next to the TETRIS building (Holiday Inn Express). They must have finished it in the last 5 months, although the lower floors haven't been cladded yet.
It's taken a lot longer to build - a couple of years - it's just the silver cladding that has gone on since March. Normally, I'd be working directly opposite & so have seen all the Arena Central development go up, included HSBC building. Quite fascinating to watch.To think people think these eyesores are nice , plus well designed . Five months just about sums it up , what a mishmash
