More about this scene

This busy shopping street reveals a wealth of fine old wooden shopfronts. On the right is Sando's multi-paned frontage and, on the left, a sizeable shop for ladies, advertising its clearance sale of blouses, which is in full swing. Many enamelled signs hang from the fascias, for cycles, oil spirit and dyeing agencies.

Hi, does anyone in St Cleer have any fond memories of my late husband, Arthur Mitchell? He was raised in Rose Cottage and he is buried in the chapel in St Cleer with his late parents, Alice and Len. Arthur was driving for Darley Ford coaches when I met him in 1982. I would love to hear from anyone. Regards Sue
I'm pretty sure this was the Grammar school. Not sure when it changed into the Grammar School though. Perhaps I should have paid more attention! It expanded over the years with many temporary buildings added at various times. When I attended 1966-73 there were close on 400 pupils ranging from 11-19. One of whom decided he would burn the school down, and yet more temporary buildings were added as a result! Houses are on this land now.
