A very early pre Great War view of the Market Place showing what was the then Martin’s Bank on the extreme left; with the attached shop of Fenby’s. Next door being Arbroath House and then Riley’s emporium (this was replaced by the Regal Cinema). We then come to Charles T. Cammell’s shop, next is William Maxwell Race’s premises followed by the Golden Lion Hotel. These premises are the source of the old joke about a Race between a Camel and a Lion in Loftus Market Place.
