The museum’s volunteer archivist Christine Orchard said: “This unusual photograph from the mid-1960s looks along King Street towards the High Street.“The plot of fenced land and the planting bed beyond is the site of the King's Arms which was closed and demolished in the early 1960s. “The next shop along the High Street, which can just be seen on the left, was a Burton's store. This shop was taken over by Woolworth's as they expanded and now we have a McDonald's on this corner.
