More about this scene

Unlike most photographs of King Street, this view is virtually unchanged. On the right, the Royal Oak, the shop with the arched door and window, and the building nearest the camera, here Dolly's sweet shop, all remain.

The scene is not so tranquil today, thanks to the traffic.
