Top of Cross Street, looking into the High Street. For whatever reason old images of Cross Street seem to be pretty thin on the ground. This one however, is a great glimpse of what this spot was once like. Not hugely different, apart from having all the soul & character sucked out of it –
The Square, and the Albert Clock. Note in the old picture that it was taken before some prominent buildings were erected on The Square, including the building that now serves as the museum.
Looking north up the High Street from Boutport Street.
Aerial view of the town, taken from pretty much above Yeo Vale, looking west. Click the image to enlarge it – lots of different things to pick out.
Queen Anne’s Walk. Not many differences at all despite the amount of time difference between the two shots.
Adjacent to the old town station.
Crossing at the old Town Railway Station.
Barnstaple High Street, “Then & Now”.
Northern end of Boutport Street, as it was before Green Lanes Shopping Centre was built.
Peter Lord, corner of Joy Street onto High Street – Now another entrance to Green Lanes.
