Earlestown, Market Street c.1960

More about this scene
Here and above we see contrasting aspects of one of the town's most important thoroughfares: a quiet residential section overlooked by the comforting bulk of the Town Hall, and the busy shopping area where the opportunity is often presented to meet and greet friends and neighbours in addition to purchasing life's necessities. The young mother on the right is probably a grandmother by now, and does not remember the quality of the Silver Cross perambulator that carried her pride and joy in 1960. Some of the names above the shop windows are still with us, but certainly not occupying the same premises.
