Title
Floods at Callis Bridge, Charlestown, 1961 - HBC00856
Description
We have this photo dated 1961, but Jonathan Greenwood comments: “I have a copy of this print because the building in the centre used to belong to my great grandparents, Thomas (Tommy) & Harriet Louisa (Louie) Knight, who ran it as a bakery. They both died in the mid 1950’s. The glass houses were used by Tommy to grow tomatoes during the summer months.
I don’t know the history of the building after they left, which I believe was in the late 1940’s/early 1950’s but there appears to be stock on display in the window, so presumably it remained some kind of retailers afterwards unless the image is from when they lived there?
The locomotive is in the earlier British Railways livery introduced in 1948/9 and has was is known as the “begging dog” symbol on its tender, also the carriages are in the earlier carmine & cream livery (known as blood & custard) which was later replaced with an all over dark maroon livery in 1956 along with a different tender logo.
Just a theory but I would think this image dates from the 1950s.”
