More about this scene

Many of the delightful houses in this photograph of the north side of St Paul's Street originated in the 13th century, but their fronts were rebuilt later. The house occupied by the courageous window-cleaner (centre) bears a 1716 datestone, and its neighbour (then, as now, housing the Royal Air Force Association) a datestone for 1663. The trees in the distance mark the site of Stamford School (note the old-fashioned school warning sign), which was rebuilt in 1874 set back from the road. The Shell garage is now a car wash.

This photo was taken around 1960 as my father (who can be seen in the photo, cleaning the bedroom window) bought number 11, St Paul's Street in 1958 and did not open the barber shop for over a year. I was 5 years old when we moved in and I grew up there with my younger brother. 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. ...see more
