I took this picture from the upper floor of the discovery centre on Saturday afternoon, it looks out over the open area next to the council offices. There’s a burger van at roughly the one o’clock position part of the market that is on in town. The burger van is a regular, although I’ve never indulged from this particular vendor.
The market this Saturday wasn’t a big one, but it was still nice to take a walk along the high street. A while ago, I got a bit exercised about the High Street, and the number of shop units that were closed.
When I was in my office this morning I found the list of shops that I had been working on, but had dropped when something else (I can’t remember what) grabbed my attention. Perhaps it’s one of those things that I can do slow time. I suppose a big question is why bother with it at all? A reasonable question. I suppose the only response I can give, is because I’m interested.

When I started work in St Neots, I was 16. I started work for Baxters the butchers. St Neots high street was very different then. St Neots was a bustling busy town centre with many retail outlets. Most of these, inle with many town centres have gone now. The writing was on the wall with the opening of the mega store out of town shopping.

It’s good that someone is willing to document these changes. We had a book on Bedford that went way back. My great grandfather was mentioned in it. It also had a picture of him, with his work colleagues.
