How have Melksham shops changed in 60 years?

I'm amazed by how much Melksham has changed in the 12 years that Lisa and I have lived here with town centre shops coming and going... and so how much has changed since 1951? Nearly - but not quite - everything. The next exhibition at The Well House Collection - starting next weekend - will be the changing face of shopfronts from 1951 through to the current day. How many of these pictures can you recognise? How long have they been as they're shown here? What was there 60 years ago?
