Date:1965

Description:Sellman Street looking towards the junction with High Street and Audmore Road.

The buildings on the right once housed Grosvenor's wheelwrights business. By 1841 Benjamin Grosvenor was a wheelwright, as was Robert by 1881. At the time of this photograph, it had been a plumbers business having been used by the Cotton and Grattage families for this purpose. By 1962, it was a Post Office with Mrs Colleen Edmonds as Postmistress.

It is now (2025) a private residence. The building with the tall chimney has since been converted to a bungalow known as 'Coopers Chimney'. The white building at the end of the road is a part view of 'The Horns' public house, which is thought to be over 400 years old.
