Brilliant photo is that the very top of Hill St,with Paradise St round the corner,ok or is it further down by the Station i guess by the adverts,
 
I would guess that those people were moving as the photo was taken and the cameras back then couldn't cope with it. I am sure someone else may know more.

A fascinating picture, but it must date from after 1923, because the London Midlands & Scottish Railway was not formed until that year out of the older companies. From the style of the ad for the 'Futurist' and the clothing, I would guess it was taken about 1930.
