London Road in the early 1900s

The building just in frame on the left that houses today’s (2018) ‘Touchline Physio’ was in the early 1900s the site of Stanley Vaus’ plumbing, painting and decorating business. The advertising hoarding erected next door on vacant land promotes ‘Cannock Chase Coal’ for sale by Benjamin Horton from his coal and timber yard to be found by the railway station further down the London Road on the other side.

It is interesting to see that so little of the north-side of London Road had then been developed.
