More about this scene
WH Smith is the only business surviving on the same premises today, although with a modern shopfront and a plain blue and white sign rather than the old wrought iron one seen here. Vanstone's Dairy (next door) has undergone many changes of ownership; it became a wine bar in the 1980s, currently called Finbar Murphy's. Opposite the arches and pillars of what used to be Hayman's Pianoforte Warehouse are just visible; the premises are now a gun shop. Shuker and Reed (right), chemist and grocer, became the Bristol and West Building Society, and is now a charity shop.
