Whitley Road runs roughly east and west across the photograph, just below the centre line. Very broadly speaking, the old village of Whitley lay to the left. The area to the right was largely open land on the Ordnance Survey of 1895. Three buses are parked next to the new Woolworth's store. To the north the road divides at the Primitive Methodist Church. On the left is Oxford Street, the the right, North Parade. South Parade curves away from the middle, towards to top right of the picture. The view includes the Victoria Hotel, the fire station, and the old Council Offices. |
