Our 'then' image shows the area known as the Broomhill pitches or playing fields which sat on Cornhaddock Street and was flanked by Broomhill Street and Dunn Street.

The pitches were popular with many different sporting groups and there was a pavilion on the site.

Our 'then' photograph is likely to have been taken in the early 1980s.

In our 'now' photo, St Patrick's Primary School sits where the playing fields once stood.

The original school was built on Broomhill Street in 1968 and was replaced by a new state-of-the-art facility in 2016.

Pupils now benefit from access to a 3G football pitch.

The homes on the right-hand side of the original photo, on Broomhill Street, have been replaced by newer builds.
