Barry, Holton Road 1903

More about this scene
This is a typical scene of the early 1900s: when word got out that a photographer was in the area, passers-by stopped and posed for the picture, just like today when TV crews and cameras come into town. The first shop on the right is Sandy's newsagent's, and next door is Woodham's the fish and game dealers, complete with a policeman in the doorway. Note the post box outside Holton Road Post Office (now Greggs) to the right. On the opposite side of the road is the Victoria Hotel and the block of shops with Boyles Boots, which has since been demolished.
