![]() Looking along Cryer Row. Willie Riley, standing with his pipe, lived in the cottage at the far end. Billy Pye lived in the one nearest the road, a keen shooting man his gun dog can be seen looking out from its kennel.
![]() Willie Riley's huts and pigeon loft at the end of Cryer Row, Willie is standing admiring one of his windmills on top of a hut.
![]() A view of the cottages in Jackson Place, which run parallel to Ellers Road and faced onto Baring Square.
