Taken in the mid 1950s, the picture shows Rowlands furniture store. To the left of this store was part of Robinson's Department Store.
The cyclists are approaching where Musgrave Street crosses over Lynn St. Walker the butcher can just be seen on the left at the crossroads. In the distance on the right are the market buildings, and a bus is travelling along Lynn Street towards Church St.
