There are a number of photos of the street and courts on the forum, but not togehter. Just found an additional one and below are all of them together. From the1880s map they all seem to be from the north side of the street. On the 1950s version it is all factories

Given that the court details are chalked on some of the premises, does that mean they were about to be demolished ? So would these be the last photos of residents by their homes ? Some still look occupied - curtains. The 6th one caught a leather bag in the foreground - the photographers bag perhaps ?
