A postcard with the view south-east from the tower of St. James' Church, c.1910. This is one of Blake's most famous images. In his caption for the North Staffordshire Field Club, Blake emphasised the unhealthy conditions of these streets, 'The Ministry of Health had come to the conclusion that the greater part of St James' Parish was an undesirable district from a residential point of view. It was the largest condemned area in the Potteries.'
