Wincanton High Street

Wincanton High Street
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.

For many years the shop in this picture was a shoe shop and I was sorry to see it close. It is now two shops, one being a material and sewing machine shop which, if there had to be a replacement, suits me very well.

Ernest CH, Bill Robinson / kinderbill, Doug Shepherd, Beatrice Degan(MARS) and 10 other people have particularly liked this photo

They do John. A few over the years have been demolished. I wish I had taken pictures of those.

Here in Padova, too, there have been so many changes in the last twenty years Rosalyn, sometimes with a frantic turning over of shops replacing the beautiful old ones...I regret not thinking of catching images of ..once upon the time..:-)

I think it is the same everywhere Beatrice. There were a few things that are no longer in the town that I wish I had photographed, including a very tall factory chimney that I really miss! Thank you so much for your interest and kind words.
Regards, Rosa.
