More about this scene

Of the businesses that surrounded the square in 1922, only four remain in their original positions: Barclay's Bank, originally built for the East Cornwall Bank in 1885 with the town clock on its corner, placed there in 1922 and still running today; Lloyd's Bank (centre left), which took over the earlier Devon and Cornwall Bank, built in 1832; Hicks and Son (left), who still run their drapery business from the same premises; and the White Hart.
