Were the cottages actually on Spring Road or were they accessed from the Market Place? One of my uncles lived there. They were demolished to build the Coop I think and would have been where it is now Wilkos car park.

The 'colour works' in #3 and the chimney in #5: was that Percy Andrews dye works?

Enigma1st - if you have any other info on residents, it was the Bennett family I was researching. The Bennett's daughter married my uncle Bernard in 1932 so I'm guessing they were there around that period. All I have is 'lived in a cottage on Spring Road'

Based on the recent comments, this is from the 1950s. The place I suggested in post #3 is named here as Charles Terrace (the top arrow). The area marked by Enigma1st in post #14 is the lower arrow and could be a group of cottages.

I reckon the lower arrow marks the spot I was thinking of (the Wilko's car park area) though don't know how the residents would have gained access (Spring Road vs. Market Place). Incidentally, another property shown is Church House; my uncle and aunt lived there for a while (meaning my aunt didn't move far from her parents across the road).

#14. Competition time again. If you took a photo of the same view today, something would be missing. What would it be? You might spot something I haven't, which won't count!
