The pavements have been removed and the post box in front of the Butter Cross has moved into Little Minster Street, next to the Vickers shop (right) that is now O2.
Notice the shop in the building on the right – this was
known to local children as Dolly's Shop, and it served as an unofficial tuck shop for the local
children from the school that was between it
The row of shops is still there, but Mellor's baker's shop (centre) is now a locksmiths; the shops with awnings outside are now a florist's and the offices of the TGWU.
This view shows the same buildings as C490092 from the other end, showing clearly the Westminster Bank before its amalgamation with the National Provincial to become NatWest.
The 18th-century King's Head
Hotel survives, and so do the shops to the right, a 1930s parade,
and a few shops beyond the hotel, but there has been much
injudicious rebuilding from the 1960s onwards
Named after the 17th-century London pleasure gardens, Ranelagh Street provides an important link between Lime Street
and the now pedestrianised shopping centre to the north of Hanover Street.
