Description:This 1935 advertisement for Bradshaw's of Cregoe Street - 'Bradshaw's Drapery and Boot Warehouse', as it says on the wall - is bound to appeal to someone writing captions. It is the kind of advertisement that works because everyone knows Bradshaw's already. We can probably assume that the rent-a-mob crowd really were waiting to see the Prince of Wales pass by, as the caption suggests. 1935 was the year of King George V's Silver Jubilee, which may possibly be relevant to the visit of royalty.
