epw055021 ENGLAND (1937). Victoria Street and environs, Derby, 1937

This house was in Albion Place I use to live there in the late 1950’s the worse house I ever lived in, I can see why they were called the slum houses. Mind you we had a very nice next door neighbour her name was Mrs Pat Souter ,long gone by now. The upside to living there was I could walk through the Canal Taverns walkway that cut through to Cockpit Hill, great memories of my Saturday morning trip to visit the many market stalls with my mother.
