Church Street – part 2
The 2nd part of the gallery covers the period from 1910 to modern times. This includes the creation of an entrance to the new Teanlowe Centre and the conversion to a pedestrian precinct.
- This 1932 map shows the more familiar layout of Church Street with no buildings in front of the Church. The street would still have 2-way motor traffic at this date.
- Church Street probably in the 2nd decade of the 20th Century, after the East side of the street had been demolished in 1910.
- A view of Church Street soon after the properties on the East side were demolished.
- The Town Hall in Church Street, after it ceased to be the Bay Horse pub and before it became the Old Town Hall Pub.
- The White House is where Poulton Optical Services now stands. The style of car would suggest a date in the 1960s or early 70s.
- A shot of closed shops in Jubilee Terrace. The terrace was demolished in 1974 to make way for the Co-op Pharmacy (now Well).
- Church Street when it was occupied by the Town Hall and Post Office.
- A band playing at the South end of Church Street with the Town Hall in the background.
- An image from the 1960s.
- Church Street when it still had two-way traffic. The street also contained the Post Office, Long’s Booksellers (now The Pork Shop) and Lancastria Co-op (now Peacocks).
- In 1973 the South West corner of Church Street was demolished to accommodate the building of the entrance to the new Teanlowe Centre. The Bernard Hope & Co van in the photo supplied maintenance services to offices for typewriters, adding machines and other equipment now long since outdated. They also specialised in converting old £ s d adding machines so they could also work in the new decimal currency from February 1971.
- Church Street was converted into a pedestrian precinct in the 1970/80s.
- Church Street more or less as we would recognise it today.
- The Old Town Hall pub, previously the actual Town Hall and previously the Bay Horse pub.
