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

An instantly recognisable view of the bend in the High Street. The shop on the corner is Sansom's Hardware, and the poster on the side of the building relates the to the construction of Church House, which now stands on the site.

According to Wikipedia, the weathervane on Church House is dated 1905, which would date this picture to around then.
