So much to see! I like the design of the fence in the foreground, and the buses and architecture in the background are nifty, too!

A great shot from my home town Deborah. I had never seen this one before. My secondary school was located nearby on the right.

The ornate fencing was lost when taken away for the war effort. Such a shame really. All that remained were the stubs where the uprights had been set into the stone. The same all along the Esplanade by the Art Gallery and Library but it gave a good wide wall to walk along when we were kids!

I would put the date at mid to late 1930s – the buses tell me that! The first of that style of single decker was delivered in 1937. The Post Office building was constructed in the 1920s.

Thanks for posting the picture. A very interesting item from the old family collection.
