Accident in the High Street , about 1960
An Austin A30 (not an A35, as it has the small rear window) has had a collision and although no damage is visible an ambulance has been called. It is hard to imagine how the accident occurred, as there is dropped oil and/or water on the other side of the street.
At that time the subject was the accident but now the old street scene is the main interest. The road was the main A12, now carried on a bypass. The buildings have hardly changed, though all but the two banks do contain different businesses.
The photo was taken from upstairs at number 17/19.

Pharmacy, Post Office and Other Shops
Shops on Saxmundham High Street. The pharmacy and post office building is different from the rest of the terrace, with a touch of deco in its appearance and a ramp up to the door.

A market charter was first granted in 1272 and a market is still held every Wednesday. Until 1988 the town was astride the A12 trunk road but is now bypassed.
