It WAS better then!
We bought our lounge carpet from D&S carpets in late 1985. It lasted years.
Ooo - Pooles blackcurrant tart with piped fresh cream - nobody did them better.

Definitely looked better then.

This photo could have been taken in the 80s or 90s and not 1973 as the parked vehicle is a Mk2 Vauxhall Astra van.

Item #: 20076 in the Wallgate album shows a much clearer colour version of this pic.
It has to be the early 1990s or later, as the pram shop 'Stork Of The Town' can be seen behind the Astra van.
This only opened in the early '90s. I remember picking a pram up there for a neighbour, shortly after it opened.

Ron, this is a newspaper copy of a photo that I took and put on the album in 2012. The photo was taken in the 1990s (item #20076).
