More about this scene
This shows the view looking along Reading Road, past the current Post Office and the Shell petrol pump, to the junction with Friday Street and into Duke Street as it heads towards the Market Place. The name Duke Street was a smartening-up of the original name, Duck Street. The houses on the left-hand side had been rebuilt further back for road widening in 1870. Photograph H73065, pages 66-67 was taken look- ing south along Bell Street as it curves towards the Market Place cross-roads. Opposite the fine Georgian house with the modillion cornice was Simmons and Sons which is now the entrance to Waitrose supermarket and a backland car park. At the time of this photograph, the over-scaled 1937 Regal Cinema was set back in the gap by Tesco's.
