New Street (view 56) (shops 1-7)
This image from about 1960 shows at the start (north side) of New Street, just before the Duke of York Hotel on the corner. The Paragon Jewellers (7) has a modern facade, functioning here from 1956; next door at 5 is the far more traditional looking Wakefield Army Stores, with good hanging from the frontage in the old manner of display; three ladies look through the window of the old established Cadman's wallpaper shop, here (3) from the 1930s; and at number 1 next door is the Farm Stores (butcher's), present from 1952.
