Our photographs are a snapshot in time to show a building's history.

This building in Bridge Street was part of the Knox and Sadler shop in the early 1900s - follow the source link above to see a wonderful photograph of it in its prime. In the 1980/90s we remember it as Comet, which later became a furniture store. Currently (2014) it is vacant and waiting for new tenants.
The last photograph below (number 03368) is of Bridge Street in 1984. The picture is copied here with the kind permission of Carter Collectibles - see it on their
