More about this scene
This bustling scene of Redhill's High Street, now a pedestrian precinct, captures the brash, commercial spirit of this town, which developed after the arrival of the railway in 1841. The welter of advertising and shop display signs along the left-hand side of the street bear close examination. Cross's Drug Store makes a feature of its sale of Bovril and teeth. The chain store grocery International Stores were prominent across the Home Counties into the middle of the century, and the Empress Tea Stores has a roof-top sign advertising the well-known brand of Maypole tea.
