Description:This postcard view looks south along the High Street towards Station Road in Gnosall.
On the left is A.E. Randle’s grocers and provisions shop which in later years changed ownership and the ground floor has been completely changed. In the centre above the vehicle there is a glimpse of Gnosall lock-up, a Grade II listed building; it was re-erected on nearby Sellman Street close to the A518 when plans to widen the road went ahead after a lorry drove into the building in the mid-1960s. Funds to move the building were raised by the Women's Institute. In the distance above the lock-up there is a timber framed cottage later demolished. On the right the row of cottages remain (July 2023) along with the shop on the extreme right which still has the carved brackets or corbels in situ.
This postcard was franked on 14 October 1956 in Stafford and sent to an address in Manchester.
