Castlegate looking up Shoemaker and Betting Office on the left. The Shoemaker at one time was David Cass in the late 1940s early 1950s before becoming a policeman. The Licenced Betting Office has a door under the window that may have been for sliding coal into. The worn edge of the steps into the next house indicate the age of the properties. c 1960
