Caption For Redditch, Evesham Street C1955

'Boots for developing and printing' proclaims the banner overhanging the street - no doubt it took a little longer than the one-hour service Boots offers today.

Caption For Redditch, Evesham Street C1955

This is the south end of Evesham Street, but none of this survives.

This street scene has changed very little over the last 100 years, and many of the shops in Dale Road are still recognisable.

Although one of the busiest in Hay, this street is also one of the shortest. Here we have the mock-Tudor Café Royal, which was also a baker, confectioner and high-class grocer.

Perhaps the climb is worth it for another reason: the view over handsome Georgian streets and the vast green bowl of hills around the town.

This wide street once held a cattle market. It now has one-way traffic, but little has changed here except that building societies and estate agents have taken over the shops.

It is difficult to equate this tumble-down cobbled street with today's unattractive Westgate.
