This highly atmospheric photo was taken some time in the 1930s before neglect and dereliction took place.
In the 1936/7 edition of Kelly’s Directory the properties are shown as being occupied by Mrs Bessie Oliver, shopkeeper and Joseph Sidney Oliver, fishmonger respectively.
But… what a photo which captures the flavour of the old High Street, which according to old residents was realcommunity with a life of its own.
