A once proud Victorian terrace. - a photo on Flickriver

A once proud Victorian terrace.

            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.
