These three images, showing sections of Castle Boulevard and the surrounding area, were taken by Aero films in 1931. The photographs come from English Heritage's collection of aerial images covering the period 1919-1953.
Charlton street as it looked in 1975. The Castle Boulevard properties along with all those on Charlton Street itself would be compulsorily purchased by the City Council in order that ac access road (Castle Bridge Road) to the new marina development could be created.
The images below show what structure inhabited the site in the 1880s. In the mid 1880s two brothers, Walter and Thomas Sampson, had a huge six-storey factory built at the junction of Castle Boulevard and Grove Road. Their lace business only occupied a couple of floors in the factory so the rest of the space was sublet to other commercial concerns. This building burnt down on 13th January 1902.
Part of the factory complex occupying the northern side of Castle Boulevard on its approach to the junction with Park Road and Willoughby Street as it looked in 1978. At the beginning of the century the factory was occupied by Alfred Cleaver, a bleacher, dyer, lace dresser & finisher. By 1912 Hicking Pentecost had taken over the building and they carried on much the same activities there.
