More about this scene
Here we see King Street before the Post Office moved to the High Street in 1919. On the left is the fine front of the Post Office - the words can be seen below the window box on the first floor, and above is a royal coat of arms (both still remain today, though WH Smith use the premises). Outside on the pavement is the lamp-post Post Office sign. Also on the left, outside the shop to let, we can see a Stead and Simpson delivery cycle; Stead and Simpson were an early chain store selling boots and shoes, and they were here until the late 1990s. Several of the boys are in knickerbockers. To the right of the Post Office, outside the shop next door and beneath the awning, stand two policemen. The only traffic in the street is a pony and cart.
