Date:1960 - 1965 (c.)

Description:This scene in Bristol Street, Lee Bank, cannot date from much later than 1960 as the whole of this west side of Bristol Street was soon to be swept aside to make way for road widening. By 1965 this side of the street is more or less a blank in street directories. J. Docter Ltd, the improbably named chemists, are at no. 189, with the Rainbow Laundry's office beyond at no. 191. Blundells, at 183 to 187 Bristol Street were house furnishers. Their premises show signs of 1930s styling and must replace earlier buildings.
