BRIDGE STREET - 1913 / 2009

Then and Now

By Laurie Stonehouse

Another fine postcard of Bridge Street from around 1913.   There are a lot of people milling around, I wonder where they are going.  Some seem to be in their work clothes, whilst the young man near  Bannisters is carrying a small bag on his shoulder, what could his profession be?

The next photograph was taken in 2009, quite a contrast as there are no people milling around, and only a few shops for people to explore.
