Introduction
The bombsite on Montefiore Street and Tennyson Street was cleared of prefabs and laid out as Montefiore Gardens in the 1960s. A social services day nursery was built in one quarter with the intention of returning this back to the gardens, if so needed. In fact, when the nursery was finally shut in 1995 the land was sold for development and a row of houses built. Montefiore Gardens is important as an area of public open space in this area.
