Postcard of Glebe Street - about 1915

This postcard shows that little change has taken place in Glebe Street between 1900 and 2000. The street was cobbled in those days and horse and cart have given way to the car.

In the postcard there are some additional buildings (including St. Peter's Chambers which were the offices of the Stoke Education Committee) at the end of the row of shops and before the Town Hall. These were demolished to widen the entrance to Kingsway.
