by Leave a Comment

Usually photographers picture Castlegate looking south to include the spire of St Wulfram’s.This picture was taken in the early 1920s and shows Charles Lewis Smith’s shop”GROCER AND PROVISION DEALER”, 69 Castlegate on the left, later becoming Wallworks. The behive is behind the tree on the right/ The necessity for foot scrapers on the fronts of houses is shown by the state of the road at this time, not being metalled but looking more like a muddy track.
