There is some activity around the base of the statue - are the two ladies selling flowers and button-holes?
The view looking north from the King's Head shows the National Provincial Bank on the left (now NatWest) and, opposite, the Button Shop (now the Wimborne Pottery).
Beyond lie Woolworth's and the distinctively-styled Burton's building. By the church stands a statue of Robert Peel, notable because his waistcoat is buttoned the wrong way.
It was famous for the production of button moulding, although, as in so many towns in the area, cotton was also produced here.
The lad outside the shop is wearing a sleeveless jumper, very characteristic of the period, and a more informal version of the buttoned waistcoat worn by the elderly man on the left.
A lone policeman in his high-buttoned tunic directs traffic emerging from the Ewell Road to cross the junction with Station Way, The Broadway and the High Street.

Tuscan columns, inserted in 1812 by the Calne builder Button, replace the Norman originals.
They designed a uniform for formal occasions: frock coats, white waistcoats and fancy buttons with gilt anchors.
Until the railway came in 1842 it was an isolated rural community, best known for its fustian and for its cottage industry making silk buttons for the Macclesfield silk industry.
