This view from the east is of a few years later. The widening in this part of North Street goes back to 1896 when the frontage of Lloyds Bank premises were slightly set back. About 1925, Hanningtons furniture and carpet departments, then in 171 and 172 North Street, moved to premises across the street, and Lloyds Bank erected an extension of their premises on the vacant site in 1928. In that same year the adjoining building, 170 was erected. While this was being done, Wilkinson Son & Welch occupied temporary premises in 168.
Finally the remaining obstructive buildings were removed in 1930.
