This photo shows an early view of New Road, Spalding. Crowds are gathered in the road, i presume that there would be an auction taking place. The sign for Greenall Furniture Depot and Cabinet Works can be seen in the centre of the photo. To its right is the Black Swan while on the left, where Swan Street now runs, is Talbot’s Cash Drug Stores.The building seen in the distance on the left of the photo with writing above it is Arthur Beales, Motors and Cycles.
