People are invited to provide input on what the Belleville Terminal needs as public engagement for the proposed Belleville Terminal Redevelopment Project gets underway.
Some eight years after the previous view, the space between Stanley Street and Gladstone Street is filled by the playing field of a school. There is some new housing in Gladstone Street. The walking figure is in Stanley Street, whose surface, laid with setts, is still there today. The main change since the photograph was taken on Wednesday 14th May 1980, is that fully grown trees obscure the view.
The Mailbox redevelopment in early May 2015.

In the 1960s Lewins Mead was a dim, cobbled backstreet of little workshops and factories reached by passageways and flights of steps. I know because I delivered to quite a few of them on the first job I had after leaving school. In 1970 a three-lane one-way street, part of the Inner Circuit Road, was driven through, completely obliterating this ancient thoroughfare. A couple of the buildings lingered on for a few years. This one was part of a brewery I think. It looks like the work of W. B. Gingell. The photo was taken on Saturday 24th February 1973. The building came down in April.

We're back into the work we're doing on documenting the market hall before it's redeveloped. Here's one of Shirley's well seen views of the Hall.
Chesterfield Borough Council is redeveloping the Market Hall and replacing all the interior shopping areas and reconditioning much of the building. This will take from early 2012 to early 2013.
The Council has asked Chesterfield Photographic Society to record this change and you'll see lots of photos as time progresses.

The modern equivalent of the previous photo has us standing on the island in the middle of Lawrence Hill Roundabout, with its grafitti-daubed, wind-tunnel passageways and sex maniac-haunted paths. If this photo doesn't look very interesting it's because the area is now visually sterile. When my aunt lived in Easton Road, the back of her house looked out over this area. I think the clearances must already have begun; at the end of her garden was a piece of waste ground where a house had once stood. The ground was smothered with orange marigolds, gone wild from its ruined garden. Beyond was a close-packed area of streets with story-book names ...Lion Street, Seal Street, Twinnell Road. Children pedalled their tricycles or played hopscotch, using a bit of terracotta flower -pot for chalk. Girls skipped. Terrifying leg-humping dogs snuffled around and ferocious housewives, fags dangling from over-lipsticked mouths, stood gossiping on their doorsteps wearing their indoor garb of "pinny", "fleecy-lined" slippers and "turbans".
The liveliness of streets and the vigour of their pavement life were doomed. Thousands of people must live in these flats but you never seem to see any of them. Photo taken Saturday 17th May 1980.
Work underway on new blocks of flats on the site of the former Gracemount multi-storey tower blocks and surrounding parkland.
This view looks down towards the Northfield Hotel on the Lasswade Road from the public path.
The development is part of the City of Edinburgh Council 21st Century Homes programme. Phase 1: Building 67 homes for social rent, 20 homes for midmarket rent and 12 homes for sale under a shared equity scheme. Phase 2: Building 70 flats and 46 houses for sale, including sale under a shared equity scheme. Work started on site in November 2010 and was completed in 2013.
The new streets are to be known as Linden Avenue and Philip Terrace. Linden as in Lime tree because of the avenues of limes originally on this site (ironically a good number of these have been removed during the redevelopment). Philip after the TB pioneer Dr Robert Philip who had a brucellosis-free dairy farm at Gracemount.

St Stephens Lane looking north from the junction of Falcon St and Dogs Head St with St Stephens Church in the right background. The lorry is a very tight fit. All of the buildings on the left were demolished soon after the photo to make way for the Buttermarket Centre.
Upgrade of the intersection of Thomas and Walker Streets from a roundabout to signals. To install a joint-use signal mast and street light a section was cut out of the shop awning as a temporary arrangement. The shops along Walker Street were abandoned at the time and have since been demolished for a new civic centre project.
Incidentally the roundabout here was installed in the early 2000's and replaced earlier signals installed in the 1970's!
