I have contacted a friend of mine who used to live in Corona Road and both he and other family members feel the photo was taken from, what we call the "Cow Fields". That is the hilly area above the Langdon Hills Recreation Ground.

It is looking down on Corona Road, which in the 1960s early 1970s was visable

from there, as was Grove Avenue, which in those days ran directly into the High Road.

Every property bar one was later demolished along the full length of Corona Road.
