More about this scene

A prosperous row of shops indicate the popularity of this desirable suburb so near to the capital. No doubt the watchmaker P H Ede, left, or H Samuel the jeweller's, right, supplied local businessmen with the obligatory gold timepiece and chain for their waistcoat pockets. The New Theatre (left) was destroyed by fire in 1971 and was replaced in 1975 with the large Churchill Theatre.
