More about this scene
The window boxes of the George Hotel are still a feature today, and the range of buildings on the right of the photograph continues to be used as shops, now antiques and furnishings, although previously they have included tailors, bakers and grocers. On the sky line, mid-way between the towers of St Mary's and St Michael's, is the statue of Justice on top of the prestigious Stamford Hotel. The only real change today is that the brick building just to the right of the two cars, which was home to a butcher's shop, was demolished in the early 1970s to widen the entrance to Water Street.
