Description

Summary: photograph, bw photograph from series showing the two sides of the High Street, here including the premises of Sillis and Son, cobblers, C D Smith and Co, chemist, and of Thoday and Longman and Co, electrical shop, at 71 to 73 High Street, Lymington, Lymington and Pennington, Hampshire, 1946

Summary: Signs in the windows read 'Opening Saturday 9th March', so presumably they were in process of transferring from 94 High Street.

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.

Identification note: Cf 1997.60.15.
