More about this scene
Young lads in knickerbockers, and one in a sailor suit, pose self-consciously for the camera in Friar Street. Little changed today, this is the finest street in Worcester, with its timber-framing, gables and wonderfully uneven roofline. For centuries Friar Street has been occupied by small tradesmen, such as the hardware merchant whose tin buckets are displayed so exuberantly outside the shop on the left. In the 19th century many were Nonconformists, such as Quakers, and next but one to the hardware shop can be seen the entrance, now demolished, of a Nonconformist mission hall.
