Past in the present

Lambert Street in Tunstall is another of those terraced streets in the former industrial quarters of Stoke-on-Trent which has probably not changed much in appearance for a hundred years.

Yes, the 'backs' has had a fresh layer of tarmac (over cobbles probably) and a modern street-light has been installed, but the brick-walls would be as familiar to the families who lived there in 1900 as they are to those who live there now.

Clock of 1902

You don't often see clocks on the exterior of buildings now, so this clock is quite a collector's piece.

It was placed on a smart row of town houses, the London Road Villas, which, as you can see, were proudly constructed in 1902.  London Road is the main road out of Newcastle-under-Lyme going east.
