More about this scene

Loooking away from Boutport Street, little has changed from earlier views. The shop on the right - Beer and Greenslade - appears to be selling cycles. The name has changed, but the product has not. Fish and chips are also available, even if the sign is now much lower.

The parked car is outside my great uncle's cobbler and shoe shop. When I was eight, I spent time 'working' in the shop for a few pennies The church opposite was where the local Brownies met weekly of which I was one.
