Looking back towards Bambrough's Garage and New Rows Chapel, 1963.

The Van is just passing the entrance to The Drive.

Heading North again:  St. Bede's School and Douglas Terrace (distant, right).

Douglas Terrace was called 'The Flat Tops' by the Local Community.

The Turning into Tyne Gardens, then it's High Row, St. Bede's School and Douglas Terrace, 1955.

The Burn, a Tributary of the River Don, ran under this road and headed East between the Playground and High Row.
