On the left side of the frame, we see West Hill stretching into the distance, while on the right, a row of charming Victorian terraced shops comes into view. The scene is alive with activity as horse-drawn carriages navigate through traffic along these urban streets. The presence of awnings above some shop entrances hints at a thriving shopping district catering to local residents and visitors alike. Each building exudes character and history, providing a glimpse into a bygone era when commerce thrived amidst this lively community. This photograph not only captures architectural details but also offers an intriguing snapshot of daily life during this period.
