If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

This is the view looking down the High Street, and you can see four cars parked on the left hand side of the road outside a large store. You can just make out the name, Bonds. This was in fact J. G. Bonds which has long since gone and is now the site for the Debenhams present-day store.
