More about this scene
A splendid open car heads north, driving in the middle of the road. The house on the left had belonged to Dr Atkinson, who died in 1917. The Post Office bought it for their use and moved from King Street in 1919. A lamp-post sign stands outside. Mr Whalley of Bishops Stortford bought the King Street building, and the sign on Walker's stores on the right directs us there: 'To Ford Service Depot, 10 King Street. Phone 62'. Along on the right is another well-advertised garage; this one is Wright's, later to become the North Essex Motor Company. A fine private house covered with Virginia creeper stands at the corner of Church Street in the distance.
