4A Palace Place

How overlooked is this little place? It doesn’t look like much has changed here over the years.

14 St Georges Place

C. Baker & Co., a wholesale tobacconists was at these premises from at least 1947 to the late 1950s.

15 & 16 Oxford Place

When I took this photo back in 2012 I didn’t realise how long the business had been here for. I purely took it for the old signage.
