More about this scene
This Victorian street scene combines bystanders quite obviously enthralled with the activities of the photographer, who are standing still enough to be captured in sharp detail, with people going about their business, whose movement registers as blurs; the person crossing to the pavement on the left-hand side almost appears to have only one leg!

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
Does anyone remember Harold Wyatt and his son young Harold with the scrap yard behind rycroft builders yard.
Me and my family lived here, my parents ran the local taxi service, called Jackson's Taxis, 23 Huntingdon St,nearby was Bartletts the butcher, and Miss Skipper had a real old fashioned sweet shop in East St, I have plenty of happy memories growing up in St Neots. It is really nice to view all the old photos.
I was then Sandra Niven so remember very well Hazel Tomlins Fiona Patterson and Tokumba Audifferen. Mrs Hutton was the Head and her son Graham ran the office he had a stand offish wife and a quiet son that was terrifieď of us girls 👧 🙄
My sister and I were boarders at Cedar House School,St Neots in 1968 before it merged with Morcott Hall School in Rutland. Fitzy moved with us to Morcott Hall. My father left the Army and we eventually settled in Wakefield, West Yorkshire. Amazingly my Mum met Fitzy at her local Church Mothers Union when she was talking about her travels as an Army wife and her daughters attending Boarding School!!!
