County Parade, on the right, includes F.W. Woolworth & Co. Ltd. and Freeman, Hardy & Willis, the shoe shop.

The Market Place and Magistrates Court lie to the left and facing the photographer was the Universal Marine store. Next to it is the old Red Lion building on the corner of Market Place.

The nearest car is a Humber Hawk, registration '42 BXB' and further away is a Ford Consul. Above the Humber Hawk the beehive of 'The Beehive' is visible in the distance.

A Walls icecream display stand is just beyond Woolworth's on the right and on the same side is a prominent clock - unfortunately the wording cannot be made out.

See details of the properties on the right prior to the building of the County Parade.
