I remember parts of this photo. I was born in 1956. The shop with the flags was Brooks' bakers I think. The houses just beyond it up the hill must have been demolished in the 60s. I remember there being 'sticky bob' plants where they were - not seen them anywhere else. The steps on the right by the cafe sign were incredibly steep to a young child and gave me nightmares for years. I also remember the salt wagons going to the rail depot at the top of the hill - you could overtake them on foot!
