Daventry, High Street c.1960

More about this scene
Another quiet day in the High Street; perhaps the photograph was taken on a Wednesday, which was early closing day. Most of the buildings are still recognisable, but only Lloyds Bank, now Lloyds TSB, is still trading. Lloyds' building was built for the old City and Counties bank, and the superb coat of arms sculpted on the side is plain to see. The three shops on the right, where the barber's pole is, were demolished in the 1970s to make the entrance to Bowen Square. The barbers were Messrs Bolton & Warne, with Bird's the greengrocer's this side and Walker's bakery on the other side.
