Illustrating two phases of development, in the background are two shopping parades dating from the town's main phase of development from 1929 - 1934. On the left are the mock Tudor style shops in Beckenham Road, while on the right are the simple rendered shops of Station Parade.

In the foreground, the foundations of the new Swimming Baths are going in, replacing the historic cottages of Wickham Green.
