Description:This postcard view looks north along Greengate Street towards Market Square, Stafford.
On the left on the corner of Mill Street is a part view of Chetwynd House, Greengate Street, which at the time was Stafford’s Post Office. On the opposite corner is Dobson's tobacconists, note the large advertisement for Player's 'Navy Cut' cigarettes on the end of the shop. In this scene transport by bicycle was still predominant and the cars have pre-war styling.
This sepia postcard, published by Valentine & Sons Ltd., of Dundee and London, was posted 10 August 1953 from Dover to an address in Austria. Valentine's monochrome, sepia photographs were seen as 'old-fashioned' by this date.
