More about this scene

Almost out of shot on the right-hand side of the photograph is probably the best-quality structure in the town. Designed by Henry Collings in 1926 and faced in brick and stone, the Clock Tower overshadows Memorial Square and the market place.

Looking at the Post Office building reminded me that the entrance was a popular place to meet your date for the evening. A great place to see the various busses arriving with your partner for the evening (hopefully) on board. Many a romance must have floundered there, had such an experience myself but luckily so did a girl waiting for her date - we had a great evening!
My granny used to sit here for hours. Thats the post office and market so it must have been Friday.
