      Just an ordinary wall in North Street. But what do we know about it? This is what we have so far from various sources. The facts are currently a little muddy…

      Built: “late 1970s”, “1982/83 when whole area developed”, “mid-80s”, “after the storms of 1987…”

      Windows: “the gaps were added after the storm damage of 1987 – to help displace the wind”, “security spyholes added for surveillance. Grove Park gates were locked after dark at that time (late 70s)”

      What was there before: “an old wall in disrepair”

      Got anything to add? 😆
