Remember that quiet little lane with the dramatic spire at the end? This is the same spot decades apart, once watched over by a tall church tower and a shop yard, now framed by pubs, restaurants and a busy town centre.
ALT Colour photograph taken from the same narrow street, showing a gently curving paved lane between closely packed buildings. The shopfronts include a bar and a pizzeria, painted cream, pink and blue, with barred windows and modern signs. In the distance a small square opens out with taller brick buildings and parked cars, and two people walk away from the camera.

The church has gone and the skyline has opened up, but the curve of the street and the close run of buildings are still doing the guiding. Do you remember this street looking different, or have stories linked to it? Share your memories. #ThrowbackThursday
ALT Black and white photograph of a narrow street lined with two and three storey buildings, with a tall Gothic church tower and spire filling the background. A bicycle leans against a brick building on the left and two figures walk along the street towards the camera.
