Frontages

I got rather carried away photographing the various shop fronts along Mill Road. As you'll see, many nations of the world are represented and there's plenty of competition to sell you a bicycle! It was a Sunday afternoon so the street was relatively quiet - during the week the traffic (vehicular and pedestrian) makes it difficult to get clear views across the street.


Take care.

    If someone ever made a jigsaw puzzle out of that montage it would be suicide-inducing!

    Wonderful to see all the independent shops. A lot of eating places... I'm always amazed they can survive as there are so many. Clearly many people 'eat out' or takeaway a lot more than I do.

    What a variety. Something for everyone! I wonder how the types of businesses would vary from, say 100 years ago. It would be interesting to see a photo of the same street and compare.

      I did find a few photos online and they confirm my thoughts - lots of food retailers (bakers, butchers, greengrocers, fishmongers etc) as well as tailors, haberdashers and so on. There were also more betting shops till quite recently when most gambling went online.
