More about this scene

Here we see some good solid architecture. A fine gent with a stick strolls toward Hepworths and a range of other sober shopfronts. Cars are few, and all rather dark. The stately council offices reflect 1930s ideas of grandeur, and the pylon reminds us that the river and the power station are not far down the road.
