This image of a St George's Day parade is quite unusual as it shows Christ Church vicarage on the right. An image in 1960 on these pages shows an empty space as it was soon to be demolished. For some time the site was vacant before Barclays Bank was built on the site. This building was later altered and is now Wetherspoons Ward Jackson pub.
Before demolition, the vicarage had for some years been a Miinistry of Pensions office.
