Hallgate 1940s

"I could never find a photo of Hallgate with the weavers cottages included. They were demolished for the bus station. I was born in the middle one in 1936, so I painted from memory how it was in the 40’s when I attended Bluecoat school"

Hallgate 1952...I am particularly intrigued by the NO WAITING sign. It is so much less intrusive than the yellow lines are today.

A question???
Is my memory failing or is this photo printed backwards? Isn't the church on the other side of the road as you look up Hallgate?

Oddly enough, I have just seen a post on FB about the Bluecoats school, which stood where the Stagecoach office use to be on the old bus-station.

Was there an earlier bluecoat school nearer to the parish church?

The opening post photograph is not the same
Hallgate as the second picture , the second one being
the hallgate that runs from the main Hallgate to
Market st where the two ladies are to the left is
now Jaxon Court leading to the bus station and
bishopgate ,or king of Prussia yard to their right ,
at the bottom , more or less to the right of the
photographer is the cobblers with the moving
puppet cobbler in the window
