More about this scene
In this later photograph, Preston's war memorial now occupies the open space in front of the Post Office. The monument had only recently been unveiled and was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, who was also responsible for Whitehall's Cenotaph. Behind the two buses stands the County Sessions House, its splendid multi-columned tower rising over 170 feet into the air.
