Procession of Witness in Church Square on the corner of Tower St in the early 1950s.
The photo shows Christ Church vicarage to the left of the shops.This was demolished later in the 1950s and eventually Barclays Bank was built on the site. This in turn was renovated and is now the Ward Jackson pub. There is a wonderful advert for Stokell decorators on the wall of the toy shop which was Andrew C Watt, although the name is not there at the time.
There are trolley bus lines on the left.
