Looking up Market Jew Street in 1975 towards the statue of Humphry Davy. It's twenty past three in the afternoon and only two cars in the street. I think this picture should show the impact and dependency motor cars have had on our everyday lives. Picture supplied by John Gendall

Taken looking down Market Jew Street and all of these shops are now gone. Knees the discount toy department is now Peacocks. Left to Knees has been demolished and the job centre was built on that site (later converted to the entrance to the Wharfside shopping centre) Moving up (right) from Knees...

This fantastic picture shows H Davy the wine merchants (left) The post office, Freeman hardy and Willis (the shoe shop) and Liptons the supermarket (Liptons makes your money go round!, or so the adverts sang) Picture supplied by John Gendall

Hi everyone.... this picture supplied by Graham Rowe and the picture is taken from.... the roof top, yes the roof top of, can you guess where? I'll tell you... it's Woolworths !!!

Well! what can I say things are so different. in 1885 I Levins (the shop in the centre of this picture) became Isaac Fuzzy. Later bought by JW Meek who was the the manager of the furniture shop. Later J W Meek moved to Market Place in 1914 until closed in 2008.

Taken by J W Meek and son this is Market Jew Street in 1962.

Market Jew Street in 1880 about 3 years before the post office was built.
