I think these are Beaconsfield Buildings where my paternal grandmother was born in 1884. The buildings were opened in 1887 as "comfortable dwellings for the labouring classes" but it later became a slum area and was known as "The Crumbles". Demolition started in 1967 and the area is now Bingfield Park and adventure playground. For more details, see www.beaconsfieldbuildings.com. '
