More about this scene

This passageway, which now runs from St Mary's Street down into the car park beside the meadows, formed one of a tight network of passages and closes which provided cramped tenement accommodation in this part of the town (see bottom left-hand corner of AF54982, page 8). Most were demolished in the late 1950s, but part of Brookes Court survives. The establishment on the right is Barton's Restaurant, an offshoot from the bakers shop on St Mary's Street (72309, page 44, right). By the 1950s it had become Ye Olde Barn, and it is still a restaurant today.

My father kept the barber shop open until he fully retired in 1997 and my parents lived there until 2006, when they moved to a bungalow. The ...see more
This photograph was taken in the year my father was born in the house which is just out of sight at the far left-hand side of the picture (No. 2). I was also born in the same house 33 years later. Most of the buildings shown here are still standing, but the cottage with two windows on the left-hand side had been rebuilt by the time I was born, and since the mid-1960s there has just been a gap there ...see more
