What year was that taken Nick?

The OCP changed to a few stores over the years. including the Disney Store

It retained a sign saying Old Corner Pin, but the last time I passed it had gone!

The crane could also be on the site of the Fountain pub, there was quite a deep hole there after demolition.

Do we know the year the picture was taken?

Looking at the cars would suggest early 80s, the building with the crane is the old Boots shop at the bottom of Pelham Street, where it meets high Street . If you look closely you can see the scaffolding and the contrectors logo.

Just shows how much notice I take of buildings nowadays. Most shops in town these days are featureless uninviting establishments.
