More about this scene
Beyond Smith's chemist's shop, on the left, and the entrance to the Shambles, is another Smith's: Alma House clothing store. This business, founded in the 19th century, was formerly Birch's, and by 1885 Monaghan's. In the distance is the headquarters building of Stroud Co-operative Society, opened in 1931. Behind the car, with its familiar DG Gloucestershire registration, is one of Stroud's surviving Victorian pillar-boxes.
