The exhibition will also examine the impact of the two world wars on the area.

Also on display will be items relating to “Shanty Town”, an adventure playground which was located off Armstrong Street. The playground opened in 1954 and it was often referred to as “Shanty Town”, as the children were encouraged to build dens and other temporary structures using waste materials.

In 1949 it was turn of Prince Philip to visit the area, when he was given tours of CIBA Laboratories Limited and British Titan Products.

Finally, there will also be a display of photographs and documents relating to places of worship in the area, including the churches of St Paul and St Hugh and South Parade Methodist Chapel.
