Description: Looking east, with the curving terrace of Lyncombe Place on the left. To its right are the flights of steps leading up to Timbrell's Court and Claverton Place. Rose & Son, mattress makers and upholsterers are behind the traffic lights at 1a, Holloway (1, Bridge Place until 1899). This was previously the Old Bridge Tavern which closed in the summer of 1930. 1, Holloway (previously 2, Bridge Place) on the corner is a dairy formerly run by A.E. King & Son. 1 & 1a, Holloway were built in about 1857. S. Wilton & Sons, newsagents and tobacconists were at 3, Holloway and on the right at No. 5 was Harold Meister, who ran a music shop (3 & 4, Bridge Place until 1899). All were demolished in early 1964. At one time Bridge Place extended northeast towards the Old Bridge, but it was truncated following the building of the Great Western Railway and the realignment of the end of Claverton Street. As the Galloping Major was showing at the Beau Nash Cinema, this dates the image to 1951.
From a collection of slides from the 1950s-1980s, by Lesley Green-Armytage.
