Scale And Emptiness In Downtown Stoke

When I look back at these old photographs of mine – I took this picture of a street in Stoke-on-Trent some fifty-five years ago – it is the scale that seems to stand out. Were the streets really this wide or were the cars small? Were the telegraph poles so tall or were the people short? There’s a feeling of almost emptiness about the scene you just wouldn’t get today.
