On the right is 1 West Street - also called West Alpha - which is still there, and it seems to have been a shop at this time. The photo was taken near the Cricketers pub looking towards Market End. Behind the big building in the centre of the picture is Bridge Street.
This building and a shop were pulled down in the 1920s to widen the road at the request of the parish council. The arrival of motor vehicles with greater speeds and more traffic made this very narrow bit of road dangerous. A very old photo - perhaps around 1880.
