More about this scene

W H Smith's has moved uphill beyond Marks and Spencer's. Of this good 1830s terrace only two bays survive, those to the left of W H Smith, the pet and garden stores, which also retain the shopfront which was added to the house's facade. Marks and Spencer's share their 1938 neo-Georgian building with John Collier, 'the Window to Watch', as their slogan had it. Now defunct, it is a bathroom store.
