Heres a good website that has pictures of Stamford through the early 1900's. Loads of pics to look at including Brownes Hospital and all major town landmarks:

Kate: Thanks very much for that Paul. Very interesting. I notice on photo 4 Freeman Hardy & Willis shoe shop, where the jewellers now is, and photo 76 "Opticians" which would have been Richards opticians. There are not many cars about in the 1922 pictures and quite a bit of evidence on the roads of horse-drawn traffic! Would seem very strange to us now and particularly to the younger generation. Anyone else spot anything interesting on these photos? Let us know.
