What time does the carnival start,or have we missed it

1920's? Look at the cars. Look at the clothes. 1950's would be nearer the mark.

The photo is just being compared Michael with the 1920s carnival picture.

Could be sixties. Length of ladies dress and, possibly preparing to demolish a shop on the left. One building missing there?

The missing building was a shoeshop/repairs named Timpsons as I recall. I remember the man who owned the shop. It was one of the first to go. It was a good quality shop and there was another shoe shop a little further on down. There was no need to go "up town'" for anything really ....it was all there on the doorstep!
