85 years a part ...... Beech Road then and now

What I really like about posting stories is the way friends help take a story that next step.

So I was pleased when my friend Adge sent me this picture of Beech Road.

It is still recognisable as the same place, although the old offi on the corner of Chequers Road has lost its chimney.

But the real change has been in the row of shops which now march to a different retailing theme.
Gone is the grocer, the butcher, and iron monger and in their place that mix of quirky traders which make the road so fun to live on.

And as Adge points out some things don’t change, so just as in 1932, there is someone sweeping the space in front of their shop and another business awaiting a new use.
