GRAND JUNCTION ROAD

Another photograph of the same vintage, but here is a mystery. At first sight it looks a simple view of the marine frontage, westwards from the Chain Pier from which doubtless it was taken. But look carefully and you will see a second tier of buildings rising high above those on the front, and including the Grand Hotel (centre) and the wooden cap of St Pauls Church (extreme right). Either by intent or accident the photographer has combined two views on the one print, and done it very cleverly too.
