Now I had quite forgotten this picture, which had sat as a negative in the cellar for four decades.
And I am rather pleased it has come to light.
We are on Acres Road and to our right is the box factory which had once been a laundry, and opposite is the hair dressers which was to become Cafe on the Green.
Directly ahead is the pet shop which closed earlier in 2019, and beside it The Village Wholefood Shop.
Back then there was a debate about that bit of open land, with some of the traders urging the Corporation to make it into a car park which the Council agreed to if the traders made a contribution to the cost.
This never happened and what had once been a fine house before it was demolished remain open land for another decade.
