Description

This shot of Broad Street (now Broadway Avenue) looks toward The Square. It must have been taken before 1929 because of the presence of both the Post Office Hotel and C Smith Ltd - the former burnt down that year and the latter was purchased and renovated by The Times. The Regent Theatre now stands on the site of the Post Office Hotel.
