More about this scene
This is a close-up of the many and varied shops that graced Fishergate just a year after the first Preston Guild of the 20th century. G Sutton, Hosier & Glover is first on the left, then the County Hair Dressing Saloons. Lingard Hatter & Outfitter was just by the Preston Gas Company; their two best-selling lines when our photograph was taken were boaters from 1s 6d to 6s 6d and the 'Stanley' top hat, 10s 6d to a guinea. One thing not mentioned is the tunnel that runs under Fishergate. It was built for the tramway which connected the Lancaster Canal with Walton and is now in daily use as an entrance to the Fishergate Centre car park.
