More about this scene
Before the advent of the car moved shoppers to out-of- town stores, main streets such as this displayed a rich multiplicity of goods, with regional shops trading beside the more well-known nationals like Woolworth's and Dewhurst the butcher's (left). It is interesting to note that some of the shop fronts have been modernised with the new fashion of plain sheet glass windows, a process that is now going full circle with the re-insertion of 'traditional Victorian' shop fronts.
