Berkhamsted, High Street c.1955

More about this scene
A beautifully proportioned view of the High Street, looking southwards towards St. Peter's Church, whose solid tower is visible peeking out from behind the building bearing a painted advertisement for the now defunct Home & Colonial store. Behind the parked van on the left are the premises once occupied by W Good's drapery and millinery shop, next to the ornate facade of the mid-Victorian Town Hall with its clock. Just beyond that is the White Hart Commercial Hotel. A fancy lamp standard and horse trough, which were both here in the twenties, have been replaced by the bus stop and lofty modern street lamp. The trees on either side of the street are also a more recent addition of the fifties.
