About
The third photo; down is this the corner of Hallfield Road and Little Hallfield Road the railings on the right is this the D.V.L.R. railway?.
Did the rail track go over the road and was there a bridge?
The top photo is a Lowry Location.
Google: Lowry Wilson Terrace, and click on images.
Check out his painting here:

Trying to relate these pictures to where my Granny and Grandad used to live. They were moved out by council compulsory purchase, guessing 1958/59/60.
York Auto Electrics was built on top of where their house was. I think it later became an Opel dealership.
Thinking back, I wonder who made money from these compulsory purchases of peoples properties. It was quite a common thing at the time.
I used live by HALLFIELD ROAD BRIDGE.
