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!

Image Details

Morris dancing taking place in The Square, at the end of Cook Row, long before the Folk Festival came along!

Not sure of the date of the shot, but could be 1920s, judging by the onlookers' clothing. You can see the Conservative Club opposite the Oddfellows' Arms, before it moved to West Borough, ultimately to be replaced by the Wetherspoons.
