In case anyone is holding their breath for the restoration, I remember the scaffolding going up around Black Swan Terrace in Spon End and it was about ten years before it came down again. In all, it was about thirty years between the buildings being boarded-up and re-opened again and during that whole time it was the most hideous eyesore you could imagine!
By the way, it's unclear from the postal address whether the buildng next door to Scholars (formerly All Saints Schools) was once a pub or the one two doors away.
Excluding pubs, I don't think there's a single building being used for same purpose as it was when I lived nearby in the 1960s? it may be hard to believe now but many of the buildings near the top of Gosford Street were still private residences back then. I used to play rat-a-tat-ginger with the door knockers on my way back from St Mary's school
