Chesham, Red Lion Street c.1950

More about this scene
The original Red Lion, after which the street was named, stood at the junction with Germain Street and, due to road improvements, was replaced by a 1930s neo-Georgian road house style pub. Here the photographer looks south-east from the East Street junction past Hyatts Yard and, past the gable of Zion Hall, to White Lion Yard with the roof of the Trinity Baptist Church beyond, whose foundation stone was laid in 1897. Note the street lamp suspended on a wire across the sreet.
