Black and white postcard view of a wide High Street with pedestrians, a horse-drawn carriage, and several multi-story shops.

53 – 57 High Street, St Neots

History of 53 - 57 High Street

The photo seems to show the street c.1905 as Ellwoods had moved by 1908. The barbers pole was Mr Flanders and the Ship Inn have long since gone, so there is nothing that remains of the architecture of the street east of the Congregational Church.

A street scene shows multi-storey brick buildings on the left, a horse-drawn carriage in the distance, and figures on pavement.

Corner of Huntingdon Street and High Street c.1910

The building at this corner had been the George Inn in the 18th century with Assembly Rooms above. In 1910 the ground floor was freeman’s grocery store. This was taken over by the Co-op Society.

A vintage street view featuring a two-story Co-operative Society brick building next to older, lower shops with a parked car.
