It is not 1950l Look at the date on the postcard . It reads either 1943 or 45. Shotton Road was known locally as Ellisons Bank. By the 1950s there should be housing on the hill and Chapel Hill Road should just be visible near Cracknells Farm that later became the British Legion. This road used to be a toll road way back in time.
