The Caravan Shop

I can remember the shop well, both my grandparants had caravans on Mr Wakley's old site (the first gate on the left past the windmill). If the Greenaways shop (that was an old bus parked by the windmill) was shut it meant walking ...Read more

Church Green West has become a street of building societies, with West Bromwich and Nationwide (in the former Hepworths Corner) at the other end.

They face the Railway Arms across the well-laid-out street. Note the caravan on the left beyond the 'torch of learning' school road sign.

Caption For Warrington, The Barley Mow Inn C1950

It is difficult to understand how such a structure could be allowed to replace decent Victorian shops, especially in a street where many of the buildings are listed, but it was probably a source

Caption For Stilton, Fen Street C1955

Here is Fen Street all rustic in summer, with a happy-faced lady smiling at the photographer. I doubt if she had many amenities in that little cottage.

Caption For Leicester, Humberstone Gate 1949

How well ordered this street scene appears, with virtually no cars, only rumbling trams, and great six-wheeler buses.

A ginnel on the left, Sun Street, leads to the elegant 18th-century Music Room.

Caption For Wigan, Market Place C1955

Standishgate's mock-Tudor embellishments were added during the 1920s; with the distinctive Burton's building, they lend elegance to the main shopping street.
