The picture above (TOP) is last in present series of pictures from Gaynor Williams of the shop ‘Aquarius’ in Market Street. It shows Coronation celebrations for the present Queen Elizabeth II (crowned 2nd June 1953).
In High Street viewed from Sussex Street, there is Woolworth before the store moved a few yards up the street to its recent corner position.
On your left of Woolies are Foulkes' Lounge Bars generally known as Foulkes' Bar which had comprised the Grotto Cafe (formerly Manchester Arms) and the Crown Hotel.
The colour pic by Yours Truly shows the scene today: Shoe Zone instead of Woolies and Dollond & Aitchison opticians instead of Foulkes'.
