Delivery wagons- motorised to the left, horse drawn to the right. Note also a collection of milk churns near the wall.

This area is now a large roundabout, "Swan Island" - the pub is off the image to the right. It has given its name to the shopping centre (and its huge car park) which now occupies most of the nearby land above Coventry Road.

Church Road. No longer in this location- where this marker is is now a car park associated with the new shopping centre, and Church Road has had a semi-circular bend put into it towards the bottom of this image.

This area has been seriously redeveloped, I doubt if there is a building in this image still standing- apart from the terraced houses on Lily Road.

I cannot locate where "royal steam" came from but Hardings Bakery was well known, purchased some other companies, and went into Allied Bakeries. Mothers Pride and Mr Kipling are associated trade names associated with this bakery.

When the first shopping centre was built the bakery moved to Granby Avenue and became Milanda's.
