Taken early on a summer’s morning, the object of the photograph was almost certainly the recently rebuilt Countess of Huntingdon’s Chapel. The old building dating from 1774 had been removed in 1870, and the rebuilt Chapel was opened in March 1871. What a sorry contrast it presents externally in 1953!
North Street, below the Chapel, was then extremely narrow, while the Colonnade extended from the Theatre Royal, round the corner into North Street so far as Bond Street.
