On the back of the card, the following was written: "Approx 1898, Parkend Square, my grandmother outside No 12 where her family were born.This photograph belongs to Mrs Doris Turner ..."
These buildings were built to provide housing for employees of the tinplate works in 1851. The Square was prone to flooding by the Cannop Brook. All of these houses have long gone.
