I used to walk home this way from school in the early 1970's passing "Jack Hills", a grocery store that is just out of shot to the left of this picture. I remember the little roadabout with a lamp post on it in front of the hairdressers - my mam and nan used to go each week. It was an odd shaped building at the Junction of Orange Street and Countesthorpe Road. Really weired seeing a picture of how it was..
