More about this scene
Here we see the beginnings of a familiar retail pattern: multinationals are taking over the high street. On the left is Home & Colonial, which by this date had several hundred branches. Their pricing policy was aggressive: signs in the window proclaim '2d in the shilling returned'. Two doors along is Boots, 'the largest chemist in the world', and just beyond that Sainsbury's, with its distinctive shop interiors, spacious, practical and hygienic, worlds away from the small, cramped corner shop of old.
