Market Street Building plaques

    There are quite a number of stone plaques set in buildings on Market St, some old some new. I photographed most if not all of them a couple of years ago. I will put the locations of them after the last photo, just in case you want to guess where they are located. Some are obvious others less so. If anyone thinks I have missed one please let me know. Thanks

Name Plaques Chapel Street

The text below is quoted from an excellent site, which once visited will I'm sure keep your interest for a while..... but don't forget to call back here.. 


House numbers were never a very popular idea in Britain, particularly in country areas, there is a scene in the 1950s film the Titfield Thunderbolt where one of the villagers is complaining that the bureaucrats will soon make them have house numbers in place of names. However from the later 1930s most towns had more or less settled down and the sequential numbers were increasingly in use.

Dave took these when visiting the Chapel Street area. I'm always on the look out for these when out and about so was pleased to see these plaques from Chapel Street. There's many to be spotted around our town, if you know of any I'd like to know to get a collection of there images saved on here.
