Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

When the plant gets a mention on the TV news I keep shouting Cambois😱

Corrected me spelling - Feasters not Fewsters

I haven't got a clue - I can tell you the names of the shops at The Oval in the late 50's and early 60's, where I lived on the estate behind them, but I have very little idea about those of the West or East Front Street. This is the comment + pic that @John Fox (foxy) posted :-

@Canny lass & @Andy Millne Front Street E 'Now & Then' image updated

Had another look and the name on shop sign left of the Dunn's Outfitters also starts with the letters DUN - did Dunn's use two buildings? The next shop to the left, with the Walter Wilson shop sign, I'm guessing could be numbers 96 (Chinese Take Away) & 92 (Ward's)🙂

@Canny lass & @Andy Millne would the building (with the bedlingon .co.uk logo on) on the far right of my clagged up image, after Wm Ward's, have been Dunn's Outfitters or was Dunn's old building completely demolished? Or could it have been the building to the left of Dunn's - I can't make out it's name for it.

@Canny lass - following on from the discussions within Andy's new albums though I would clagg together a Google Street View image of Front Street East so we could attempted to map on what the old shops - 1950's & 60's - were. This is the current view within Google :- And this is with a couple of the old shop names :-

@Malcolm Robinson - whilst Andy is working on that there is a timeline that @johndawsonjune1955 posted in2013 :-
