Brotton High Street again; this time the photograph is taken from the High Wall, looking up the High Street. Plenty of people about and this is earlier image than the last; there is no Salvation Army Hut, no Roman Catholic Church, the entrance to the quarry is visible and so is the Blood Tub (Queens Arms) and St Margaret’s church prominent on the hill top. Note the four complete gas lamps as well. Things don’t change so much; men still gather at the High Wall. Whilst Patsy Gallon tells us: ”My grandparents lived in Brotton; my grandfather John James Rogerson would not walk past those houses as he felt sure they would fall down!” Interestingly they still lean and as yet have not fallen down.
