An area between the Tate’s Avenue/Boucher Road roundabout, and the Broadway roundabout. It changed considerably with the demolition needed for the first Broadway M1 roundabout and all previous landmarks have gone. The 1918 Street Directory shows the site as including the Broadway Damask Co Ltd. In later years, if my memory is accurate, it also included William Adams & Co Ltd, also in the linen trade.  Very dilapidated in recent years, various private-sector schemes are currently (December 2017) completed or planned.
