This is the lower part of Thornton Street looking towards York Road. The shop on the corner of York Road and Thornton Street is just visible with the white brickwork on the side.
Penzance Streeet is the street off to the right. The large building on the right at the end of Penzance Street was possibly Providence Strict Baptist Chapel originally but appears to be a home on this picture.
