More about this scene
In 1955, Sun Street was much the same as it is today. Faulkner's estate agents are on the left. Paternoster's stationery office is the building centre left, with its large sign between the first and second floors. On the right, we have W J Roberts, a shoe repairer, and next to him is Philpott's, the house furnisher. The two businesses are housed in a building that was once part of the Lucas brewery, founded in 1709. Next door, Mrs C M Astle's Hitchin Café advertises hot meals, served all day.
