These flats were built in the late 1950s when the streets running between Mainsforth Terrace and South Lynn Street were demolished. They were built on the site of Catherine,Thomas,Hilda, Ramsay and James Streets and the names Catherine and James have been retained.
The flats have been renovated and changed quite dramatically but this photo shows them largely as they were built.
