Stamford, Red Lion Square 1922

More about this scene
We are looking across the square in the other direction from 72299. It is clear that Finlay's is under competition following the arrival of the chain store in the form of Freeman Hardy & Willis. To the left of the tower of St John's is the Curry Cycle Co. In the days before tarmac, the roads around Stamford were topped with limestone that made them dangerously slippery for cyclists; indeed, cycle guides of the late 19th century wrote off this stretch of the Great North Road as being unridable when wet.
