The road on the right is actually Crown Dale, not Crown Lane, which is out of sight to the left.

We moved away when I was eight years old in 1951 and my only memory of the stretch from Furneaux Avenue towards Crown Point, the present site of the Hold-erness estate, is of derelict land with a lot of rubble, extending at least to the position of the further buildings in the picture.

It feels odd that I can't remember them all and I wonder whether perhaps the picture is earlier than 1946 and some of the buildings had already been bombed flat when the demolition for Holderness began.
