Information from Richard Chesterton, "This is one of the 2 high rise blocks on Raeburn Road as viewed from the other one. The small flat roofed building just visible past the right edge of the block and the field beyond belong to the old Herdings Primary School. Beyond that is Norton Avenue and then the buildings of Norton Aerodrome."
Information from Revd. Mrs. M.Turner, "There were three identical blocks originally. They were known as the three sisters. This photo was taken before the refurbishment of the two remaining blocks, renamed Queen Anne Court and ;Queen Elizabeth Court. Allegedly the third block was demolished because it was built over a fault." | Format: | JPEG/IMAGE | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/uk/ |
