Painted sign, former Walter Willson shop
Walter Willson had a large chain of grocery stores across the north of England. It was in operation from the mid 19th century until 1998, though this shop in London Road had changed hands many years before that.
A few months after this photo was taken the building was done up, and the brickwork rendered over.

Plaque commemorating first pillar box in mainland Britain
The plaque is on the wall outside Woods Newsagents Image The first British pillar boxes were trialled in the Channel Islands in 1852. Their success led to the introduction of boxes throughout the mainland, the first of which was erected here in Botchergate in 1853. To commemorate this event, a replica Victorian pillar box was set up in the town centre in 1989 Image
