The stone structure by the lamppost at the entrance to Waller Hill was a gents urinal. The beck which now flows under Sunwin House can be seen on the right where it emerges from under the road and the shoe shop. It was quite a deep gully! On the opposite side of the road (to the left of the cameraman) was the road leading down to the stepping stones.

I believe that this shop was run for many years by the Meakin Brothers prior to its demoltion in the 50/60s ?

I may be wrong, but I'm sure I remember this shop still selling shoes when I was a child in the 70s. It had yellow plastic up at the windows.
