New Street (view 59) (shops 15 – 17)
A closer view of the Brighter Homes wallpaper shop in 1960. Notice how the modern shop has been built into a much older building and the entrance to Hayes Croft is clearly evident to the left of the image. The shop with no sign is Lodge's newsagency, located right next to Hayes Croft. It was from here that the famous Lodge's Almanack was published, sold and distributed.
