More about this scene

Lumley Avenue, with its chestnut trees and wide verges and roadway, is typical of the streets comprising the original grid layout of the Earl of Scarbrough's 1870s town plan. The parish church stands in Powletts Circus at the far end. The house on the extreme left belonged to G J Crofts, who could look down the street and see customers entering his large drapery shop in Lumley Road; it later became the offices of the Skegness Standard.
