lysander Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 At first sight it appears to me that the two characters sat on the bench look very much like convalescing WW1 British soldier,....hats, great coat and what looks like white patches on the collar????

madannie77 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 The tram looks like number 315 to me. It entered service in the form seen in 1914 and was given a fully enclosed top deck in 1922. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin72 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Is that a statue of Victoria? When, or where, did it go? Who is the other figure sitting at her side? Why is the pub advertising Bovril? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van Ralty, photographer 37 Fargate (White's 1919) 10 Independent Buidlings, 21 Fargate (Kelly's 1925) Looks to me like the prominent advert is on number 37, assuming there has not been a renumbering since the 1910s.
