• Name	Ruby Olive SKRINE
  Birth	26 Sep 1911	Stanley Street, Bristol
  		Stanley Street, Bristol "Here we are looking across an area of empty ground where three streets of pavement-edge, terraced houses had once stood and perhaps a thousand people had lived. They had been moved out and rehoused , for their own good by people who knew what was best for them, in tower blocks like the one in the distance. The camera position would have been in Thrissell Street. The single house in the foreground is in Stanley Street, whose surface runs right-left across the middle of the picture. In the distance is Gladstone Street where houses still stand on one side of the road. They would be demolished before the end of the year. Wednesday 19th January 1972."
