More about this scene
The design of the building on the extreme left of the photograph is 'restrained Co-op' of the 1930s, not pictur- esque but solid and honest. Beyond are the utilitarian shops of the 1960s, quite new when the picture was taken. Today much has gone, including the odd eaves-slatted canopy to the recessed shops, which has been sawn off. The Co-op has been rebuilt in a modern grey brick and glazed tile of about 1980. At least the later 19th-century backdrop buildings remain in situ.
