More about this scene
This was a junction devoted to money. The Midland Bank is prominent on the left, facing the National Westminster and Barclays, which was a few steps from Lloyds' palatial building opposite the Royal Hotel. By 2000 most of the banks were still in this small area - and still in their opulent buildings. At the right of the Midland Bank is an archway, wide enough for a pony and trap, leading to a cobbled yard and the offices of the town's prestigious architects, Gotch and Saunders. Timpson's Shoes were a chain store with branches all over Britain. The shoes were made just round the corner in Market Street until the 1930s.
