More about this scene

This view looks eastwards towards the railway bridge that carries the line from Grimsby to Lincoln. Again, the buildings have hardly changed, but the occupants have. Rasen Bikes are in the large shop on the left, which was E C Hall's shoe shop. The White Swan beyond is still there, and next is another shoe shop, E C Hall. A young lady is in charge. Wold Antiques is next, and then comes a building that is looking sad and forlorn. It still has the name Albion Furnishing Stores painted on the side, but it fact it looks very empty. On the right is Union Street; the corner shop was W H Smith, but is now Oxfam. All of this part of the street was dug up during the extensive road works of early 2004.

Me and my sister used to go and stay in the school holidays with our great nanna, Mrs Hilda Pocklington, in her cottage at Walsbey Road, we used to love our time there.
