More about this scene
This view looks east towards the High Street, past the Post Office on the right. The brick buildings at the far end, their six windows facing the camera, were demolished in the 1970s for the widening of Sutton Court Road. The cars in the centre of Grove Road have long gone; this road is now a busy and key part of the town centre ring road system.
