Iver, Buckinghamshire, The High Street, circa 1910. The building on the right was the premises of George Morton, grocer. It survives, but it is a shadow of its former self. The building on the left was a beerhouse called the 'General Garibaldi'. It was run by the Hutton family in the first decade of the 20th century. No trace of it survives today.

A photo that looks like the opening shot in a film. Something is about to happen. Maybe the main character bursts out from the wine shop doorway. Or a horse bolts threatening nurse and baby.
