More about this scene

By Edwardian times Lyndhurst's shops were catering for something of a tourist boom. Several establishments are seen here offering refreshments. The Frith photographer may have had some competition, for the chemist on the left has a wide selection of photographic materials on sale.

The photograph shows my great-aunt's tea room/restaurant. She was Mrs Matilda Howells, known in the family as Aunt Tilly. I can clearly remember visiting the tea room on many occasions as a 9/10 year old child with my mother Adelaide who was Aunt Tilly's sister. Her husband (Uncle Jack) did all his own baking in a huge wood-fired oven at the rear of the premises and meals for the tea room were cooked in an equally large wood-fired range in the kitchen adjoining.
