More about this scene
Newgate Street is one of the features of the town -it marks the line of a section of the old Roman road of Dere Street. In 1914, on the whole the price of basic food stuffs had been fairly static for ten years. Tea remained the same at 1s 6d a pound; there was no change in the price of flour at 5d for 3lb. Sugar had fallen from 6d a pound in 1905 to 1d, but streaky bacon had risen from 9d a pound to 1s 3d.
