Market Place, Wincanton

Market Place, Wincanton
I often wish I had taken photos of Wincanton 30 years ago to compare all the changes, so being Sunday and knowing there would not be many people about, I went into town and took as many as I could to compare with future changes. More will follow. I lived in the town for almost 20 years but have lived in a nearby village for the past 16 years.

Ernest CH, Fred Fouarge, Gudrun, and 9 other people have particularly liked this photo

The shop fronts still look reasonably traditional, not like so many places fine if you look up but cheap and nasty at ground level. I'm not a Facebook fan but I do belong to a group on there called History of Leicester in images it's surprising the old photos people have, considering not that many people could afford to take photos

The Bootmakers has only recently been taken back to the way it was. It is actually a creative workshop for adults and children now. It was a solicitors for many years but they kept it in good order. I am in a group on facebook called Wincanton Past & Present and love it. Some great old pic's on there. Also, funnily enough I am in a group called For the Love of Leicester! I have only been there once but keep in touch will some old Panoramio friends through it.

Terrific! I hope no one seriously needs to read the directions on the road surface!
I misread the shop sign as bookmakers and didn't bat an eyelid of course!
I did visit the race course here as a bored 6 year old! My great-aunt in Cornwall had racehorses and sometimes I had to go with them to race meets. It put me off horse-racing and gambling for life!

The road signs could do with going over ;-) I have only ever been to two race meetings Andy, and that was ages ago. They do however have a lot of good events up there day and evenings and a good team and country crafts fair in the autumn.

A lovely capture Rosa, a terrific idea especially the shops and businesses area because they change so often, I have photos of Bridgwater over the past 30 years and they do settle disagreements,

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Roger (Grisly) club
Yes that is what I really should have done Roger. I lived just outside of Bridgwater for a while in 1975.
