James Gray: St Peter’s Church in 1922 when the land on either side in Portland Road was still vacant. In fact, the next building to the west was then the Portland hotel some 100 yards away. Lumley and Hunt’s premises were built in 1927 and the vacant lots gradually filled in during the next 10 years. jgc_16_023
2018: The church is unchanged but Lumley and Hunt has moved from the east of Shelley Road and the corner is now a coffee shop. (Photographer: Mark Stephenson)
