Early 20th Century

Looking Southeast down Central Drive. A wall obscures the station on the right. Shops on the left. Advertisements for Hovis, scones and Mrs Smith, High Class Wardrobe Dealer. Crowded pavements. Two boys centre left pose, another strolls with a cane. Between them a man seems to have lost his boater. Horse drawn carts and carriage in the distance.
