It is more than likely that as a Bromley town resident she bought her bread from the Hovis bakers, right, or visited Wymans shop nearby.
In the centre is the Institute, and the shop with the blind down was F Bromley, a butcher's.
I wonder how long the two people on the left had been waiting for a bus to take them into Bromley?
The Bishops of Rochester, who owned the manor of Bromley from 862 until 1845, maintained a palace here from the 10th century.
Previously they had met in rooms upstairs at the Public Hall, or in Bromley Hurst, a private house sold to them by Edmund Wilson the town clerk.
It became Bromley's Restaurant in the 1940s until it closed at the end of the 1960s.
Some years later, Sir Thomas Bromley of Battenhall was Lord Chancellor to Elizabeth I, who stayed at Battenhall on her 1575 visit to Worcester.
Every year, on the first Monday after the Sunday following 4 September, the Horn Dance is performed in Abbots Bromley.
Bramley is a large, straggling village popular with those who work in London and nearby Basingstoke.
Bramley stands about four miles south of Guildford on the Horsham Road; it is a long village with a busy crossroads with Station Road (there has been no railway since the 1960s).
Bramley lies 2 miles east of Rotherham.
There were five stations, Bramley, Cranleigh, Baynards, Rudgwick and Slinfold.
The Langrish Bramley Stores immediately opposite extended over three shops, and was the enterprise of Mr Langrish, the parish clerk.
Bramley Road to the south has an avenue of horse chestnut trees.
The sign in the foreground points to the Army's Central Ammunitions Depot in Bramley Road, which eventually shut in the 1970s.
