THIS is what Redditch life looked like in the early 1900s.

The vibrant scene is that of Evesham Street and the old Vine Inn can be seen on the right and in the foreground on the left is Gray's tobacconist. Sadly the buildings seen no longer exist.

Chris Jackson, chairman of Redditch Philatelic Society, kindly supplied the picture.

Old pictures can be sent to Julian Seva and will be returned once printed.
