More about this scene
In 1877, John Player began making ready-rolled cigarettes. He had a flair for advertising and 'Player's Please' signs, such as the one affixed to the Post Office, were eventually to be seen in every village. All the company's cigarettes were made in Nottingham and, such was the productivity at the time of this photograph, they were paying tobacco duty at the rate of over £1m per day.
