More about this scene
Frank Gates (left) had moved to this location by 1926 (having been in Chelmsford Road in 1922), and by 1937 was the main Ford dealer. There is a tendency to see the development of the London suburbs only in terms of public transport, but the motorcar proved increasingly important from this period. In the distance is the then Majestic Cinema. It was opened in 1934, and in the audience was a then less famous Winston Churchill. It was saved from redevelopment in the late 1990s after local protest.
