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

This is a pretty standard look down Avenue Road, probably taken in the late 1890s/early 1900s, and was recently for sale on eBay.

A bit of a shot in the dark (and we'll probably never know), but I think that could well be good old HC Farrant (from this picture: http://ourtownstory.co.uk/iamtimbo/gallery/326/wimborne-pictures) and his horse from St John's Bakery standing in the road. What do you think?

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