More about this scene
This view of the western end of the High Street, seen from the forecourt of the Spread Eagle, is dominated by the clock tower built by Butler and Hedge in 1847-48, which commemorates the passing of the Public Health Act in that year. With public lavatories at its base, it replaced an earlier watchtower, and provided a focus for the host of market stalls which occupied the central section of the roadway beyond. On the right is a branch of the London and County Bank, with Dorset's shop next door exhibiting a gleaming display of light fittings. Just beyond, the Commercial Inn advertises its accommodation for cyclists and, in the infancy of the motor car, its good stabling for horses.
