The google map took a little time to load which meant I savoured the detail of the original, wondering what the school girls crossing the road were talking about, and thinking I'd like a look round Catliff's china rooms, and weren't street lights a pretty design back then, and then suddenly I was hit with the shock of the now! What a loss!
ReplyDelete2024 now & even worse, like most UK towns. Sad & worrying.
DeleteWhat a fun scene. So much going on!
ReplyDeleteIt's 4:30, school is out, it's time for tea. A busy place then and now too, but without the charm.
