Looking towards the Grand Hotel, the image dated 1965, shows some houses already boarded up prior to demolition to make way for Middleton Grange Shopping Centre. The street and area around was well used, in those pre large car park days, by shoppers at Binns which is out of sight on the right hand side. This is indicated by the parking sign.
