"This photo shows Nellie Ashworth (worked in Arthur Dane's) & her sister Cissy Leigh (who worked in the Co-op) on a wet whit walk. Unfortunately we do not know from which year". I remember showing off your new clothes to the rellies and getting 3d bits or a 6d if you were really lucky. How much would that cost today? - at least a fiver i suspect!)
Walking past the Wheatsheaf pub. Notice the distinctive windows of the shop next to Barry Hett's shop ,top right, which enabled me to identify where they were walking !
The Wheatsheaf
This is a great snap shot in time.. I can recall my dad wearing similar overcoats..
ReplyDeleteMid-1950s I would say judging by the clothing styles. There's no yellow lines on the edge of the road, and I think these were first used in the late 1950s (though when they were first painted on this road I don't know).
