Weekly heritage photo mystery
In our weekly heritage puzzle, we want to know if you can identify this street.
Some things have hardly changed since the photo was taken in 1952, yet others are radically different - but you may not notice straight away.
You can see a bigger version of this photograph on our Facebook page as well as the suggestions being offered by other readers, and previous mystery photos.
To find out if you're right, pick up a copy of today's Southern Daily Echo.
• Congratulations to those who correctly identified last week's photo as Above Bar Street, Southampton. The buildings in the centre are now the site of the Que Pasa bar.

On the right side are Basticks outfitters, and Manfield and Saxone, both shoeshops.

These were different times to today, it was quite common back then for people to stand on street corners for hours on end, pointlessly staring into space.

This one's easy as I was driving the bus.

It's East Boldre. On the right is the New Inn (now the Turfcutters) just past Chrissy Martin's garage on the right. Up the road is Charlie Kitcher's coal yard next to Art Drodge's tin house
