More about this scene
The White Horse Hotel, right foreground, advertises its select bowling saloon. The horse of the sign seems to be emerging from White Horse Lane just beyond the hotel. The sign on Brown & Seymour's shop beyond reads 'smoke Musketeer tobacco'. At No 17 next door, David Mansfield Scott was a confectioner and mineral water manufacturer; his business operated beside that of Miss Kennington, 'Fancy Draper & Milliner'. The bicycles parked outside the bank on the left might well have been bought at the Cycle & Sports Depot farther down the street. Thoughts of war seem far away in this peaceful, unhurried scene.
