About


Co-founder of Our Town Story. If you have any questions about the site, or wish to provide feedback, please visit the Admin forum and post in the appropriate place - we'll do our best to help you out as quickly as we can!

We really want Our Town Story to be an album for your old photos, to fill in the gaps in the history books of our villages, towns and cities. We would also love for those pictures to be able to help others - for instance by using reminiscence therapy in treating dementia

We're still a work in progress, and we appreciate all suggestions and observations!

Flickr Image Description

Found this old card today, not in a secondhand/charity shop but for sale with other newer ones! Rather neatly, it was actually bought from the Chemist's that's housed in the bright yellow building in the centre of this photo.

Not uncommon to see the odd old car in this small town, but I fear we'll never see a Hillman Minx/Hunter, Granada Mk2 or Peugeot (304/504?). Possibly an 1100/1300 in the distance?

The view today, little changed: maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=broad+street+eye&ll=52.32055...
