More interesting perhaps are the shops in the background. The pink-fronted shop next to the Royal Bank of Scotland was called 'Pretty Details' and sold gifts including dried flower arrangements. Both the newsagent (on the other side of Pretty Details) and the Post Office (on the far corner) had prominent cigarette advertising (Silk Cut and Benson and Hedges respectively), as was common for corner shops and newsagents up until the mid-1990s.
