Image: © Mick Garratt Taken: 12 Oct 2008
Intended as a recreation of a photo dated 1960 by Francis Firth, see http://www.francisfrith.com/search/england/cleveland/great+ayton/photos/great+ayton_G112033.htm (for other examples see the forum thread http://www.geograph.org.uk/discuss/index.php?&action=vthread&forum=12&topic=3983&dontcount=1&page=0 ). In the centre the Royal Oak is easily identified. The two shops next door have been rebuilt for the NatWest bank, the newsagent Worthy Pearson having moved round the corner to Park Square. Further right and only partially visible is the chemists which in 1960 was a house with a small front garden. On the other side of the Oak the buildings look structurally the same and are now occupied by Petch, the butchers.
