The first photo in this animation was probably taken in the late fifties, as the cattle arch on the right is in full use, and I can't see any sign of work starting on the bridge. Baird's is visible too (the building beyond the cattle arch, with the Capstan advert painted on the side), and that was demolished in preparation for building.
The second photo isn't quite from the same angle, because that same bridge is in the way, but I hope the animation gives a flavour of how much has changed.
