More about this scene
As a town, Basingstoke has been growing since the early part of the 20th century, when this picture was taken. However, in the last 40 years or so it has become the fastest-growing town in western Europe, its population growing from 17,000 in the early 1950s to 67,000 in 1981. The shop on the right offers a rather unusual service. The sign reads 'John M Carter - marquee maker.'
