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!

Image Details

A couple of familiar shop names in this shot, including Burton and WH Smith, and although both are still trading, neither occupy these sites any more.

Not sure on date, but could be some point in the thirties. Looking at the StreetView image, though, you can't help thinking that a lot of the street's sophistication has been lost over the years.

Hint: Drag the orange pegman to see the Streetview image...
