If you remember way back to last Monday, we featured two photos submitted by Conny Hughan Tanis of Hatfield, showing a bustling downtown Lansdale in 1957.

And we promised to show you the other two photos she submitted, so here they are.

The photos were taken by her dad, Jim Hughan.

It may be a bit out of season, but the Santa photo is just too great to keep until December.


In the photo, Santa, also known as Bob Hinkle, is seen talking with 6-year-old Margie Hughan and older sister Conny in front of Jay Jewelers.

The other photo shows a portion of Main Street, Lansdale, back in 1957, and you can see Jay Jewelers, the Lansdale News Agency and several other shops along the main street.


The family lived on the second floor of a building at Main Street and Susquehanna Avenue, above the Perfection Bakery, when these were taken.

Thanks for sharing!
