More about this scene
It is interesting to compare this photograph with picture No 40116 on pages 70 to 71, which was taken from nearly the same spot, but 50 years earlier. The street is still cobbled, but the tram lines have gone. Our 'Cash Clothing' shop is now just an ordinary shop (next to the Savoy Cafe on the right). It looks like a good solid Silver Cross pram parked outside the tobacconist's on the left of our photograph.
