More about this scene
Comparing this view of Friar Street to the similar one taken in 1891, shows that the three-gabled building next to the car has had a coat of render stripped away to expose its timbers, while the shop on the far left has been smartened up (losing some of its charm in the process) to house Elt's shoe shop. This is a familiar name in Worcester. Albert Edward Elt started selling shoes in 1872 and the family owns several shops today, though there is no longer one on Friar Street.
