More about this scene

In this photograph it is worth noting the old Hovis sign on the wall of H Pearce & Sons. Beneath it is a sign that reads 'Black Beauty Shag, excellent for making your own cigarettes, costing 8d and 4d'. The shop has gone and is now a private house. The view down George Street towards the church and the Market Square is still recognisable, though the garage just seen on the right has gone.
