The new market house was opened in July 1900, and this picture shows it as it was originally - with an open ground floor - and before the police station was built. (compare with following picture). The policeman is standing at the town centre cross roads and the building in the distance behind him is the old school house, which has now been demolished. There are a number of school children in the picture and perhaps it was taken just after the school broke up for the day. On the north (right-hand) side of the street the buildings have remained relatively unchanged over the last 100 years. The George Hotel is now an estate agent and the low shed is a sandwich shop. Further up Grace's hardware shop is still there - with an old sign saying it has been established for over 200 years. |
