Ambleside, Market Square 1926

More about this scene
Now in the motor age, the Square is less animated. The Queen's Hotel has lost its dominant sign, but the jeweller's shop is still functioning. The board by the entrance to the Queen's building is offering 'luncheons, teas and garage'. Apart from losing its 'coaches' sign and acquiring a garage, the Salutation is little changed. Noteworthy is Elliott's shop, 'Bootmaker, Repairs' (left), since occupied by several generations of the present-day Tyson family, mountain boot specialists. We can see the front of the former Market Hall of 1863 on the right.
