A couple of interesting cards spotted on eBay – I’ve seen the top one before, but not as far as I can recall the bottom one.
It’s late afternoon on a sunny day, looking at the shadows from the west. Any guesses on the date? Looks 1960s to me – note Craddocks, the Station Hotel and the Chemist (can’t recall which one)…
Please, click on them to enlarge, and let me know what you spot… comment here or mail me: BrownhillsBob at Googlemail dot com

Looking in the opposite direction from near the top of Silver Street, Craddocks on the right. Click for a larger version.

Just a cupple of points of view on the post cards the chemist was the old jessops the dispenser later was Mr ROBERTS another small item the lady apears to be wheeling a WINDRIDGE pram on the subject of babies next doorto the station hotel was a place where baby milk and codliver oil and orange juice was obtained a popular lady DOREEN HOWDLE a lovley lady was at hand to give advice . point on picture number two now an old topic of mine the electricty poles are still standing with their six wire supply two neutrals three phases and a street light feed memouries of the chasetown electricity days same street two worlds
The lady in light coloured outfit by the pram could be my mother. That would make it 1959, but maybe wishful thinking.
HI Bob
the Morris Minor 1000..first was 1956. The Vauxhall Victor, first was 1957..suggesting not before 1957.
