West Road in Past Times

The absence of motor vehicles and the peace and quiet of a Sunday afternoon is reflected 
in this photograph of West Road taken  from a postcard posted in 1913. The gas lamps 
that were a feature of the town at that time can be seen at the footpath's edge 
and several people are out walking, a popular pastime of the period.

A later scene from West Road, circa 1920, with the motor car making one
of its first appearances although the horse and cart is still in evidence.

A winter scene in West Road from the same period.
