Taken before the area was redeveloped, late 60's? Someone on here will know the precise date - the area still looked like this c1964. Supermarket above and behind bank is now Waitrose (not Sainsbury's), before that it was Safeway.

S & E Co-op, where I got my school uniforms from. They had the air tube cash system and I used to watch fascinated as the tubes shot across the ceiling and then re-appeared with your change

Certainly around mid 60s, can see Ford Anglias, also interesting is the 3 wheel Scammell Scarab pulling a trailer on the extreme left, looks like a British Rail one.

 

Always nice at the bottom of the Moor- until they built the Manpower monstrosity.
