Terraced housing beside the River Aire, in Castleford
Prince Rock, Plymouth, Devon

The old Mistletoe public house in Cardwell Street (formerly Victoria Street), Northwood, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.
Now being used as domestic housing, from memory this old pub closed in the 1970's and the old frame which held the pub sign is still visible.
This was one of two public houses (the other being The Holly Bush) in Cardwell Street which also had a separate off licence on the corner of Rawlins Street. I'm not quite sure what should be made of the street of my birth given the nurmerous places to buy alcohol?
Northwood predates the nearby city centre town of Hanley with houses dating back to the late eighteenth century (listed by 1775) along Keelings Lane (later renamed Keeling Road). Northwood was redeveloped by William Ridgway, who made his home close by in Keelings Lane, during the early nineteenth century and the streets along this side of Keelings Lane were laid out during the 1850's which would possibly coincide with the opening of the original pub.

The detail at gutter level dates the building to 1864. The housing is contemporary with the nearby Adelphi Mill.

The once proud Balmoral Terrace sitting on St. John Street, between its junction with Free Trade Street and Lower Mayer Street, on the hill that lies between Hanley and Northwood in Stoke-on-Trent.
Built in 1887 with nice ornate details to the eaves and bay windows, it now sits amid a rather tired and rundown street, nothing like it was in my youth.
One story about this street which dates back to 1903 involves the death of Thomas Holland, who disappeared down a disused mine shaft from the nearby Hanley Deep coal mine. It's still difficult to imagine today as this street crests a hill that is significantly higher than any other surronding land including the pit. Unfortunately, the body of Mr Holland, a local from Northwood, was never recovered and his burial service was supposedly carried out in the street.
