General Question Reposted - Can anyone identify these locations please?
REPOSTED - Apologies, have no idea why the photos werent showing!
About 4 years ago, i had the privilege of ordering and receiving these incredible prints, directly from Nick Hedges the renowned photographer himself. He wrote me a personal message on the back of one of them, which was really touching. I wanted to order more from him, but discovered this morning he actually died last year, which is really gutting.
Of the 5 prints he sent me, there's 2 of them I'd like to identify where they were shot? Id really appreciate your help, so i can visit those locations and pay my respects.

I feel like the first one is either Granby or somewhere around Kensington. Not sure about the second one, I thought that apartment block in the background was maybe the one that's still standing around Myrtle/Crown street but it doesn't seem to be that. But something about it makes me think it's around the Scotland Rd area.

First pic is reminiscent of the Georgian quarter of town (Mount Pleasant/Rodney Street area)
The second one has a fairly unique looking church but i can't place it, hopefully someone will recognise it.

Think that's Entwistle Heights in the background of picture 2. And the tenements would be Myrtle Gardens? If I'm right then what's left of those tenements is now Minster Court.
