A photograph looking down Kingsley Road across the Triangle, in about 1910.
The image was taken by Mr. Dyer junior from the bedroom window of 30 Hawthorne Road. This was Charles Dyer, who lived with his parents, and was about 18 in 1910. Both he and his father worked at Cadbury's; Charles junior was a clerk, and Charles senior was an advertising clerk.
By the 1940s, the trees which had been planted around the triangle had become overgrown (see below).
Image: 'Cutting the hedge round the Triangle by voluntary labour of Tenants during the War, in July 1943. The Corporation was unable, owing to shortage of labour, to cut the hedge, & a S.O.S. brought an abundance of helpers'.
The caption attached to the photo includes some of the names of the residents, but it is difficult to distinguish who is being named. From left to right there is: J. N. Bluck [61 Kingsley Road], Miss. Smith, R. W. Price [7 Hawthorne Road], H. Titley [36 Hawthorne Road], G. L. Short, L. Bruce, R. Brannon, W. H. Griffiths, A. Gibson, B. D. Wilkes, F. Birchley, Per. Roberts [51 Kingsley Road], K. Sinclair. [addresses added where known]
