James Gray: Photographs of the Baker’s shop at the corner of these roads. Above, in 1907, the Compton Steam Bread Co. It is still a baker’s shop today, in 1968. jgc_26_067
2018: Today 2 Compton Road is a house, not a shop and there is an extension to the side. The original garden wall has been rendered, the buttresses have lost their tops and the metal railings have been replaced by wooden fencing. The chimney pots have been removed to allow for the loft extension next door. (Photographer: Jane Southern)
