A recent addition to our archive - The Co-op Coal Office front left - and one row of the Orchard Place cottages behind. The CWS Factory offices right of the picture in 1957.
Orchard Place was located between High Street and Rectory Road.
On the above map it is between the 'T' and 'R' of 'High Street'.
All that remains of the entrance to Orchard Place from High Street.
Note the ex-C.W.S. office building in the background.
