Have you ever wished you could travel back in a time machine, if only for an hour or two, to visit our town at some point in the past? I know I have! Well, I'm afraid I can't quite provide such a thing just yet, but meanwhile, I hope you enjoy a quick virtual trip back to the early decades of the 20th century - a period extremely well illustrated by the postcard makers of the day. For this reason, many streets feature in our virtual tour, so if your internet connection is not a fast one, there might be a delay as images appear.
 

1910

Hovering your mouse cursor over the arrowed areas will change the photo in the corner to reflect what would have been in view at each place.
