This
photograph was taken around 1912 and shows the south side of Parker
Street just past its junction with Hornbuckle Street. Joseph and Emma
Fairholm (nee Cully) lived on this street from at least 1868 to at least
1871. The properties are probably typical of the ones that family
members had lived in from the early 1800s in this area
By the start of World War I the area had become run
down. Although improvements were made to some of the properties around
that time, the streets that the families had lived in had been
demolished by the start of World War II and in the 1960s a massive
redevelopment took place in this part of New Radford.
