More about this scene
This street scene has not changed very much except for the names of the occupants. The Whyte Swanne of 1612 is still there, and Peacocks have replaced the long-time Louth outfitters of Lawson & Stockdale at No 47(centre). Peacocks also expanded into the Prudential next door. Wilkinson's took over from Fine Fare (right) at the same time as the decorated art work on the pediment above the blank front was lost. Then comes Superdrug on the corner of Vickers Lane (formerly Post Office Lane), and then Argos. Barclay's Bank is still at 64 Eastgate (extreme right). As the railways since Lord Beeching's cuts do not visit Louth, the sign (left) pointing to the station has also gone.
