Hi Jack. Loved seeing the old photos as they capture history in the making. Lovely to see the old style of clothes women wore it's a pity it's not in fashion now outfits even men's wereuch more elegant back then. Marie

‘Unexploded bomb at Tolver Rd’ . . . Before the days of health and safety. I can only assume it had already been made safe. Although the nose does seem intact 😂
