Description

Summary: photograph, bw photograph from series showing the two sides of the High Street, here including the premises of F M King and Co, tobacconist, the Bugle Hotel, and of the Home and Colonial Stores at 81 to 83 High Street, Lymington, Lymington and Pennington, Hampshire, 1946

Summary: From a series of photographs of Lymington High Street taken by local photographer Frederick Drew, and later published in R Coles's 'Lymington High Street Then and Now'. A transcript of the captions from the book, briefly noting changes between 1946 and 1976, is filed with the photographs. The negatives from which these prints were made appear to have themselves been made from earlier prints. The owner of the negatives also donated a number of spare prints which appear, by their sharper quality, to come from this earlier series.
