Hi Lyn
Nice to see these photos back on. I am so pleased you are reinstating your photos.

Regards Stars
 
Thanks for reposting Mrs Smiths shop. My Nan was Mrs Jones with a shop down the Rd opposite The Justice, Frankfort St. She used to get me to run up to Mrs Smiths shop if she had run out, ot take stuff if Mrs Smith had run out. Can you imagine Tesco doing the same for Asda?
 
pretty sure that with a few alterations to the houses these 2 pics are the same location but some 60 odd years apart..the older one is dated 1905..
