Description: | June 1960. This picture shows Jackson Lane, Morley, which linked Victoria Road by the Post Office with Bank Street near the top of Chapel Hill steps. Since its demolition in the slum clearance development of 1962 even the main route of the road has been altered besides changing its name to Bank Avenue. Many of the houses in this area dated back to the mid-1850s or before. They were not capable of improving with modern amenities and many had sandstone slab roofs. Some had large gardens, others no gardens whatsoever and quite a lot were excessively overcrowded. The lane here was considerably narrower than higher up and there was only room for one vehicle at a time in this section.
