More about this scene

Princes Street fares somewhat better, although the creeper-clad Georgian house beyond the shop on the right was rebuilt in 1950s Neo-Georgian. Whitby and Sons' shopfront has gone, as have most of the others in this view. Amid the stone and render, the pedimented corner building on the left is in brick, and was erected in 1885. At the junction with the High Street in the distance there is now a Millennium clock tower in Ham stone.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

My mothers family moved to Yeovil in about 1926 from Beaminster in Dorset. My grandfather heard there was a job going for a gardener, he got the job so the family moved to a tide cottage in Ilchester Road. They had 5 childen then, my mum was born in 1930. One of them, my Auntie worked for Whitby Book Store. In the photo it is the shop on the right. She stayed there until war came in 1939, then left to work for Westlands. It was there she met her husband.
