The post office is on the far left, and immediately next door is A Shenton, dealing in baby linen and ladies' clothes.
Note the collection of perambulators and baby carriages under the tree. One lady sports a nanny's outfit.
There are busy vendors of refreshments and knick-knacks; family parties, encamped with umbrellas and novels; eager children, sprawling babies and their nurses, and scores of adventurous youngsters seriously
