Then and Now: Lo'boro Junc: Coldharbour La/ Hinton Rd

At this time, Loughborough Junction was a bustling shopping area, with shops surrounding all sides of the crossroads. Note Bryant Booksellers to the right of the pub, with Rees The Chemists (opposite) trying to entice photographers with their large draped banner, 'Rees for Kodaks'.
