There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025

St John street and Hemingford street with Thompsons mission and the school building are still in that area if you do a google search for a more modern view to where Wilson street was. Please look at maps posted earlier in this thread
