As we move further down the main street, no less than three hotels are now in view: the Queen's peering round the corner (centre left), the impressive White Lion and the more humble Royal Oak
On the right, above the street, is the sign of the Royal Oak. At about this time, the occupier was W J Pilbeam.
The Royal Oak's appearance has altered little in the last seventy years, and it continues to provide old-fashioned hospitality in a modern age.
This scene has changed little in the past 50 years, apart from the Royal Oak (left) losing its hanging sign and side entrance in the 1980s after a couple of lorries demolished the porch!
Beyond is the Royal Oak Hotel, one of several old coaching inns that still stand in the town.
Many of its cottages were built in the 17th century, and the Royal Oak is older, claiming a date of about 1502. A famous treat, which is still sold today, was Granny's Nettle Beer.
Overlooking it is the Royal Oak Hotel, one of several inns that did well on market days and served coach passengers travelling between Preston and Lancaster.
The Royal Oak now has its porches and lean-tos thatched, as well as the main roof.
Virtually unchanged today, the Royal Oak pub (left background)is still trading.
In this photograph the Royal Oak pub displays the well- known sign for Friary Meux.
Unlike most photographs of King Street, this view is virtually unchanged.
The Royal Oak is the town's oldest inn. Another old inn, the Peacock, was already scheduled for demolition when it caught fire in February 1974.
In the centre is the Royal Oak Hotel and the Wilts and Dorset Bank. Next door (right) Charles Edward Bazley offers Humber and Swift bicycles.
In the central High Street stands the Prince of Wales (left), which features the royal plume of feathers on its sign - Duchy of Cornwall lands stretch westwards around Dorchester.
The Royal Oak (centre right) now houses Tillions. The glass shades on the Bradford Boot and Shoe Exchange (left) carry interesting advertisements: men's nailed boots cost from 3s 11d.

Opposite is the Royal Oak Hotel (centre), and the Wilts and Dorset Bank (far right) had yet to be absorbed into Lloyds.
The Royal Oak run by George Wells for Ind Coope is on the left.
The whitewashed Royal Oak (right) has a recessed centre to provide a small forecourt for benches; beyond is No 24, a good Georgian house with a mansard roof.
The bay windowed building is Hampton House, whilst the Royal Oak, on the other side of St Ann`s Lane, continues to provide refreshment to the boating fraternity.
The Royal Oak is on the north side of the street (right). The busy mix of cyclists and cars is typical of a 1950s street scene. The closest car is a Morris 10 (left).
Oakley was within the medieval royal hunting forest of Bernwood - the king's hunting lodge cum palace was at Brill nearby. The name of the village means 'a clearing in the oak woods'.
The Royal Oak is in a good position to attract customers from the turnpike.
On the south side, whilst a touring charabanc waits for its customers outside the Royal Oak public house, a handcart makes a delivery to Fraser`s, piano sellers and household outfitters.
