Taken from Waldon Street looking towards Stockton Road, the Lion Social Club is on the right and between the shops is Westmoreland Street. The shop on the right is still there although is now an office, but all the other buildings are now demolished. In the background is Stranton Primary School, which was opened in 1971, so therefore the photo date is more likely to be much later than 1965 suggested.
