More about this scene
The fine saloon car in the foreground, probably a year-old Morris 20, bearing the registration number YU6523, appears in many contemporary photographs of Stanstead Abbots - does it still survive today? On the right is John William Hodgin's draper's shop, which was earlier the post office and run by A Blackby. Further down was William W Ray, a confectioner and tobacconist; he offered afternoon teas, and was an agent for Daren Bread. Next was Frank Andrews, a saddler, who supplemented his income by repairing cycles. On the left was Mrs Mabel Harwood, a milliner, whose business was in competition with the Misses M & H Bishop, then J Catesby, the 'cheapest ironmonger in town.' Just visible is the Three Fishes, which also served as the post office.
