More about this scene
The late Victorian era saw the development of shopping parades. The one on the left was built in 1904- 05, when electricity came to Surbiton, so it was given the name Electric Parade. Parking restrictions were yet to descend upon Surbiton, and the few drivers after the Second World War have the roads to themselves. Many local authorities were to save ratepayers the expense of erecting lamp posts by attaching their street lamps to the trolley poles, as we see here. Philpott and Co at No 40 on the right supplied stationery.
