Memories Of High Street

I think the shop was called Pools, I can remember my Grandma used to take her batteries there to have them recharged. We lived up Perseverance Road, up Mikey's Lane. I also remember the cobbler shop used to sell things for the horses. Good memories.

This view is taken from the Elizabeth Street end of the park, and looks north towards the Everard Arms (facing the pathway) and Forest Gate Road.

Caption For Penygraig, Tylacelyn Road C1955

Caption For Bloxham, High Street C1955

The High Street is hardly recognisable today, and now carries a great deal more traffic than we see here.

Porlock's High Street has changed little, and traffic on the A39 has not increased enough to initiate a long proposed by-pass.

We are standing almost at the corner of the High Street, with the old rectory (home of the famous authoress Dorothy Sayers) hidden behind the wall on the right.

The cobbled streets and granite steps remain unchanged, but in place of shipping offices and fish salesmen are now ice cream parlours, cafés and souvenir shops.

Caption For South Shields, King Street C1883

in the middle of the road, we have no idea what is attracting the attention of the men in the foreground of this picture; surely it is not the horse-drawn tram travelling at a sedate pace along King Street

But it was the Roman conquerors that laid out the basic street pattern of Dorchester - a true Roman town in a beautiful setting.
