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!

My great, great, grandparents were bakers and shoe makers called Kitchen and lived on High Street.

This picture brings back the memories of the many years I spent at my pharmacy to the right of the view. I am now retired and in my late seventies. The roundabout has been altered to make way for the bypass to Chester.
