Post Card of The Cross, Quorn
This is a view of the Cross taken from outside the Memorial Gardens looking up High Street towards Loughborough.
The publisher is Valentines and although the card is unused, from the dress, the van, and the fact that the film 'Sailing Along' with Jessie Matthews was released in 1938, it probably dates from that year.
There is a name, 'CA Prince' at the bottom of the Royal Oak sign, with several cigarette advertising signs nearby. The adverts on the tall building (centre right), seem to by mainly for entertainment. Not only can the name Royal Opera House, Leicester be seen, but also the Victory and the Royal cinemas in Loughborough.
The shop on the right, which was North and Son earlier in the century, in this picture is R D Otter, groceries and provisions.
