I came across this one on Friday, the new looking Peace Gates seen from the bottom of Cross Street. Opened in 1926 it stood beside Spite Row, in the picture to the left, until 1930 when the houses were demolished and a garden and wall put in their place. The gathered crowd could be for the gates’ opening or maybe a walking day parade. Any suggestions ?

Could it be a funeral of someone very important? Although there’s no hearse in view.
