Things have Changed a Lot on this Corner - c1995

The building in the fore-ground of this view at the top of Mill Lane is the solicitor's office Rice Jones and Smiths. The archway to the left of the office led through a passageway into what was Baines Row and beyond that took you into the Victoria Mills complex. These mills dated back into the nineteenth century and brought prosperity to the town and an abundance of jobs for local people and many living beyond the town. The Under Offer sign to the right of the photo gives a clue as to what was to come later. The site was sold and today it is where Sainsbury's Supermarket is.  (Photograph and copyright courtesy of G, Foster).
