More about this scene
At this major junction of Cheam Road, Carshalton Road and the steep High Street, the splendid and ornate sign of the Cock Hotel with the Courage Brewery rooster mounted above sits in the centre. On the right is the three-storey shop of the bookseller and stationer's William Pile, whose interior exuded the rich aroma of leather bindings. Next door are the offices and showrooms of the South Eastern Electricity Board. Further down the hill, on the corner of Throwley Road, the cupola surmounting the Municipal Offices rises above the surrounding buildings. Beyond is the white stone frontage of the Gaumont Cinema.
