These images were all taken around the corner wedge area where City Road meets Milnbank Road.
Most of the main buildings you can see in the photos have vanished, replaced now with landscaping.
If you want to do a Google Street View comparison, here are their locations.

These are fabulous pics of a very interesting area [at least to me].

Thanks Neale
Fantastic photos, as always, Neale. I actually grew up in nearby Scott Street a few years before these photos were taken. Coincidentally, the house immediately opposite where the red car in the top photo is (rather badly) parked was up for sale a wee while back - I was tempted to have a gander at it!
