The faces we’ve featured offer a glimpse of how life used to be. There may well be people you recognise as members of your family or friends, if not they are a fascinating look back at a different time in the town’s history.
All the images are from our collection of glass plate negatives – some of the captions are very brief as they were not filed at the time with caption information.
