Description
The open market bustled, the famous clock tower chimed and the Easter Fair was a fun-filled family day out. The impressive Thwaites’ Victorian Arcade stood proud in the town centre and local businesses like Mercer’s, Kenyon’s Bakery and Hurst Brothers ruled the high street. All books signed by local historical artist John Chapman, Jack Shaw and Peter Street.
