Postcard of Stockton High Street c1900s

A postcard sent to Miss Wood of Starbeck, Harrogate. The postcard shows the North End of Stockton High Street taken from theTown Hall. With the King George V, half penny postage stamp, would this poscard have been sent sometime between 1910-1936?

The postcard reads, ‘…You will be overjoyed to receive this from me no doubt. I thought it woud be a little surprise. You will see by this it is quite a busy place, not at all like aristocratic Har..’
