Baldock, High Street 1925

More about this scene
The market town of Baldock developed at the junction of a Roman road and the ancient Icknield Way in the mid 1100s. It is said that the Knights Templar named the town 'Baudacum' - a Latinised from of Baghdad - and that this evolved into Baldock. The market still meets on the original site each week, but on a non-market day in the 1920s, Baldock has an air of almost desertion. On the right, in the background, is Quenby's garage with its 'swing-arm' petrol pump. On the opposite side of the road, almost obscured by the dark shadow of the Town Hall, stands a Great War gun carriage.
