I WROTE about Buckland’s a few months ago. But this image sent to me by direct descendant Richard Alford has – to my knowledge – never appeared before. So I hope readers may forgive a return to the same subject. In this picture, we have moved on 30 years from the one shown before. The occasion for the patriotic decorations being the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth that took place on May 12, 1937. Two lamps still hang over the window displays of each set of premises, but the large elaborate gas lamps with ‘Buckland’ written on the shades are gone, to be replaced by what may be more modern electric lamps instead.
