An early postcard of The Street, Hook (Wootton Bassett). There are plenty of children in the photograph, all looking rather smart. The girls in their white aprons and the boys with their jackets and caps. Perhaps it was a Sunday or they were dressed specifically for the photograph to be taken.

If you can name the shop on the right of the photograph or identify other buildings we would love to hear from you.
