Was there a Home Guard based at Hartford Hall? Has it got something to do with that - 1940s?

The street could be the Rows (Raas).

I would guess as a year 1941 don't know the place could be the Raas like Keith says, but I think they may have gotten pulled by the police for Gunning it now a days.

Really the front st hasn't changed that much over the years, in so much that it is instantly recognisable.
