East Street

It is difficult today to get an impression of what East Street was like before World War 1. In 2015 there are 28 properties on East Street: in 1911, there was more than double that number. In 2015 East Street takes traffic away from the centre and around the town with Stamford School premises on both sides: in 1911 it was a back street full of housing.

East Street bThe western end of the street was narrow with a mass of properties backing onto each other and Hope Terrace a bit to the north. As the map above shows, there were few spaces between the houses all along the street on both sides.

Only a few older properties and Sunny Bank remain.
