How well ordered this street scene appears, with virtually no cars, only rumbling trams, and great six-wheeler buses. The Bell Hotel speaks of genteel days, and Lewis's store on the right speaks of a more pressurised era of merchandising in the 1930s. It is sad that a high proportion of the buildings in this photograph have been demolished in recent years.

Who remembers the mermaid in the window of Lewis's in the late 1950's (I think)???
