Stanley St, Easton, Bristol.
Stanley Street, Easton, ran from Easton Road to Stapleton Road. Behind the camera it finished as a dead end, but there was an arched passageway for pedestrians to walk through to the busy shops in Stapleton Road. Off this passage was a doorway, and behind it a staircase leading to an upstairs room over a shop. Here a man had an office, and every Thursday morning during the late 60s I used to deliver his hand-towels.
At the Easton Road end everything had been demolished to make way for the huge Lawrence Hill roundabout, completed at about the time of this photo. The roundabout was to be part of the Council's precious Outer Circuit Road which, so far, remains only partially built.
A few houses remain standing in this view, but would not last much longer. Unauthorised car breaking is being carried out off right. The picture was taken on Friday 30th March 1973. By the late 70s Easton Sports Centre had arisen on the site.
