1912, Church Street view
This is an early morning view of Church Street in 1912. The streets have just been washed and some of the show awnings are down already, so it was likely to be a warm day. Traffic is virtually non-existant, just a couple of horses and carts and the odd cyclist. Note the workman on the extreme left, painting the sign on the Plough public house.- Cliff Burd
Just the upper jetty of No 83 is visible, marked with an arrow.
