Town Street looking south from outside St Mary's Church

One of many old photographs in Mr R. Chilvers family albums, this one shows the 'Half Moon Inn' which closed c. 1900 on the left of Finkle Street junction. The next property is 'Skelton House' the next 'white' house is 'Red House' next comes Lambert House and so on. The property on the right is 'Prospect House' where Mr. R. Chilvers's Aunt Kate and uncle Billy lived for many years. Skelton House was Doubtfires Icecream works, the Red House was a Small holding, Lambert House was a farm and Prospect House had been 'Wrights' Joiners Shop.
