Description:This photograph depicts the demolition of a house in Friar Street, Newcastle-under-Lyme in 1937. In the Newcastle area timber framed buildings had been superseded by brickwork around the middle of the 17th century. After this time any remaining timber framed houses were made to look modern by adding brick to disguise the timber frame underneath. This photograph shows the discovery of a timber frame that had been covered up by brickwork many years previously. The gentleman in the bottom left of the picture is pointing out the discovery.
