We take a look at Parson Cross over the past 75 years, these photographs may well evoke some fond memories for many of our readers.
You may even recognise a few of the faces along the way.
Originally built in the 1930s, Parson Cross was developed initially as a housing estate to help the city cater to its ever increasing size. Things are expected to change for the area with big plans afoot following last year’s announcement of the government’s £20million 10-year investment plan.
