My parents passed me this framed print. The family interest is the shop belonging to my maternal family centre left. But what is the date? No one could pin it precisely, the only positive mark is the post WW1 memorial in the centre. My guess is late 40s.
I looked at it and thought 1930s rather than '40s......relative lack of white lines on roads and lack of signs etc.
ReplyDeleteCars could be either decade but there are no things like blackout hoods over lights or white bumpers so probably not immediately post-war.
Asked Sue, she reckons definitely pre-war.......Cloche hats and full skirts (using a lot of material) so no evidence of rationing.
Hope this helps,
Stig.
If you look at the women's hats bottom right they are 1920s into 1930s.
ReplyDeleteFashions would indicate1930's, or very possibly late 1920's.

Late 20s/early 30s. That Riley Monaco came out in 1929. Plus fashions as mentioned.
ReplyDeleteA very detailed response via email had now dated the print as 'c1930'. So prizes all round.
