Image of Cumbergate

1909

Information

Cumbergate, is still easily recognisable today, take away the horse and cart and little has changed. With Queensgate to the rear and St Johns Church at the top of the picture. The shops on the right hand side are still there as are Miss Pears Almshouses on the left (now Carlucci’s Italian Restaurant).

The postcard is dated September 1909. The address indicates that Werrington would have been a very small village than as there are no street details in the address.

From an original postcard of the time. Publisher Valentines, from the Keith Gill Collection.
