More about this scene
In this delightful and evocative view, we see the north or `top' side of Westgate. On the extreme left is the watchmaker's and jeweller's shop of George Page, a keen amateur photographer; many of his photographs of events in the town were taken from his first floor drawing room window, shown here, with the distinctive clock below. Like many trades-people in the town, Mr and Mrs Page lived above the shop. Next to Page's we find Mr Simpson, a tobacconist, then Brunton's the pork butchers and Scott's the grain and seed merchants. The gas lamp denotes the post office at number 16 Westgate, and next to it at number 14 we find Mr Franks, a baker's and confectioner's and dining rooms. In 1910 Mr Franks retired and sold the business to Mr Tom Pallister, and the business traded until the early 1960s as simply Pallisters.
