One of my own pictures here – I’m the kid on the left, I’m guessing I was about 3.5 years old? I was born in 1974, so it was around-about 1977. We lived at Rock Avenue at the time, spent a lot of time down Rock Park.

Another one of my own pictures, taken at my christening at St John the Baptist Church Newport, 1974. I’m the one in white. The other person is my dad pretending to be Samuel L. Jackson.

A view looking up Vicarage Street, you can see Yeo Valley School in the background. The buildings on the right include The Carpenters Arms, one of Barnstaple’s many long-gone public houses. Move the slider left & right to compare the differences –
