On the left is May's pawnbrokers. It says it was established in 1825; whether it was always on this site, I don't know, but it has been here for a long time, despite the changes all around. This area originally had traditional terraced housing, but in the 1960's these were cleared. We are now at the stage where the flats that replaced them are also being demolished and replaced.
