St Cuthberts Green Ryder & Yates photo

Hello!
Well I've calmed down a little so here is the first of 4 wonderful photos we got from Ryder & Yates & Rutter Carroll(the other 3 are of our beloved pyramid) This is taken from the arch(brickwork just visible on the right) and is truly lovely, a beautiful summer day(like we used to have back in those days) taken I'm guessing about 3-4pm(note the length of the shadows)...the housing has not yet been ruined by the addition of the roofs. I particularly like the colours of the T1s. Note also a very interesting inspiration in design in that the street lighting seems to consist of lamps built onto the sides of the houses!-they are silver topped with a like blue reflector strip part coming down vertically and fixed to the wall(maybe they adapted this feature for the blue lighting in the wall near the pyramid)
2 wall lamps are visible on the T2s? to the left and 1 visible on the very end right T1 - there are no lamp posts-I never realised this, but it is clear to see in this photo...wonder why they dropped the feature when they built Kenton Bar Estate?...fascinating...the 4th T1 from the right is vacant/empty
