Station
Approach.
Towards the
centre of the photo is the original W.H.Smiths. (see sign above
canopy),
now the
Station Cafe. On the very left is the side aspect of what became ,and
still is, Burtons.
Burtons once
had two shops in town ,the other one was in the building that Currys now
occupies.
This scene has
remained almost unchanged for a hundred years.

telegraph pole at the side of the house.
