The Parade looking towards the Railway Station end (view towards The Strand), back in 1911. Shopping on both sides, (on the left is now the Magnolia shopping Centre built in 1977, on the right is now Woolworth's and other shops). The steps on the right are still there but they have changed over the years. This is also one of the main roads in the town centre so it has a lot more traffic now. More text coming (anyone any info to share please).
