You have many fascinating pictures, which I thank you for sharing. I lived in Hockleybrook and though I am now a little long in the tooth, not quite as old as your pictures.
I remember The Benyon, The Turks head the policeman standing in the centre of the road directing traffic (good job the traffic wasn't as heavy as now, thought he sometimes took his life in hand then). Izons the chemist and The Coleman sisters who ran the newsagents.
Where do you get all these great old pictures from?
