KINGS ROAD AND CANNON PLACE

Here is the same corner, nearly a century later, on 1 August 1965, to be exact. Look at the doorway of the tall corner building, in the 1860s known as Cannon Mansion, a lodging house and in 1965 a part of the Hotel Metropole. It seems virtually unchanged as does the low building beyond. In the earlier photograph it was a billiard saloon, but in this century, a Post Office. This building together with others higher up the road have since been removed for the Conference Hall.
