More about this scene
On the left, Marks and Spencer established a bazaar in 1932, later enlarging and heightening the building several times. The Co-op Bakery and Elite Café (now Saxone) has its awnings out. The building with round-topped windows was W H Smith until 1998, and the next building is the Co-op Quality House, the former Playhouse. On the right Percy Waits succeeded Smart and Farries in 1947. The next four smaller shops are Dewhurst's, Meeson's, Annette's and the Singer Shop. The next large shop front covering two buildings is Pretty's the Drapers, which was here since the 1890s. The shopfront dates from a refitting of 1927. At the end of the street the Midland Bank took over Whipps in 1963 and extended the bank over the site.
