The weatherboarded cottages are prominent among the stone fronted shops and restaurants, whose rich assortment of goods and services are lavishly advertised. The elegant lamp posts were a relatively new addition to this picturesque commercial setting, and although the rails carrying the tramcars are evident, it is clear that pedal-power and horse-drawn transport had yet to be displaced by the internal combustion engine.
