More about this scene

Once known as Alfred Street, Burnham's main shopping street was an avenue at one time; but the trees were removed to accommodate traffic. It runs parallel with the Esplanade, and holidaymakers swell the numbers of shoppers in the summer.

I remember riding my bike around in Burnham on the day the yellow parking lines were painted. So this would date the picture to mid 60s say 1965 give or take a year. That's pretty close.
The lady in the picture is my nan connie ( now deceased) . We spent many happy years in Burnham on sea as my nan had a caravan nearby. My parents are still regular visitors .
