This image was taken in August 1958 when the new fire station was taking shape . On the right of the photo the roof of the Gaumont can be seen and behind that the Durham Paper Mills tower. The angle of the photo is a bit tricky, but the houses behind the new building are St James' Place, Regent Place and Union Place .
