Red Lion Street area, Kirk's Yard, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, June 1919. This whole area was demolished in the late 1920s-early 1930s. All the houses were replaced by some of the first purpose built council houses. Narrow Marsh lay beneath the cliff on which stands the Lace Market, seen here in the background. The area was notorious for its slum dwellings and outbreaks of cholera and other diseases. Note the houses on the left show frame-knitters windows. The timber-frame house, Marsh Farm looks to be possibly Tudor, and shows a marvellous display of repairs and patching. The small plaque on wall says Gallahers Irish Roll.
