More about this scene
Cawdells' department store is executing a pincer movement on Timothy Whites, the chemist (left). Beyond comes the pillared portico of the Midland Bank, followed by Lennards and the Pearl Assurance office (later Habitat). The next building is Kingham's store, soon after the photograph was taken to be demolished and replaced by British Home Stores. In the left foreground is Lloyds Bank, originally built in 1889 for the Bucks and Oxon Bank. Today, although the front remains unaltered, the interior has been improved following major renovation in 1983 for Lloyds. Cawdells itself was demolished around 1968.
