Old Photo Gallery

My grandmother Ada Banks was born in St Leonards, Hastings, in 1883. In 1891 she was living at 74 Bohemia Road with her parents, John and Georgina, and some of her 6 siblings. Her father was a butcher. In 1911 they were all living at 61 Bohemia Road (a 3 storey house, with lodgers), she now assisting in business (presumably her father's butcher's business). Both were corner shops. John, her father, had been born in Pevensey.

I was born at 108 Bohemia Road in 1934, and then lived at 27 Salisbury Road before the family moved in 1939. My maternal relatives name was Venner, who were the tenants at 27 Salisbury Road. I remember there was Butlers hardware store on the corner of Bohemia & Salisbury Road. My parents also had a wet fish shop in, I believe, Tower Hill.

I had a relative who married a Frederick Smith and lived at number 89 in 1901. I think his 1901 census entry occupation says 'Boot Dealer', though it may say 'Book Dealer'.
Would number 89 be the nearest shop to the camera in the second terrace (the one with the bow windows on the 2nd storey)?

lloyd is right, [he must have changed] the photo was taken opposite newgate rd. Outside the shop where my family and I lived from 1946 to 1955. E Davis & sons Fruiterers and Greengrocers. Ah, happy days.

In the 50s we lived at 88 then a green grocers, I think the photo looking at the left of it was taken looking south about 4 shops from newgate rd.

Can anyone tell me the position this may have been shot from?

Thanks
