Continuing along Western Road, there was the Church House, and Regal Cinema [now modern flats]. Beyond some private houses, and Arthur Gower & Son, undertakers at 22, one came to the London Passenger Transport Board omnibus depot and some shops including Milton Hairdressing at 50, Kingham’s cycle shop at 56, Howlett’s baker shop at 60, Pratt’s builder merchants at 62 and Gower’s grocers shop at 68. On the other side of the road there was the Anchor public house at 73, and Molly Newman had a florist’s shop at 77, on the corner of Chapel Street. Continuing towards Aylesbury you would pass Wright & Wright’s garage [which is still there], the Britannia Inn on the corner of Park Street, and the Convent of St Francis de Sales.

Detouring along Miswell Lane there was Hedges the fruiterer [now a grocer’s shop] while Miss Fanny Hopkins kept the little corner grocers at the junction of Longfield Road. Entering the Tring Triangle via Chapel Street one passed the former Ebenezer Chapel, which was given planning permission to allow Hampshire & Oakley to manufacture ornamental ironwork, gates and furniture there. There was Gravelly Infant School in King Street, and in July it was reported that, by an unfortunate coincidence, both Miss Bradding and Miss Gower will be leaving the Gravelly Infants’ Morning Sunday School, Miss Bradding on her marriage, upon which we congratulate her, and Miss Gower on going for a year’s residential course in the art of being a librarian. It was feared that the Sunday School might have to close, but fortunately Miss Mansfield and Miss Illing volunteered to help.

At the Kings Arms you could go left to Gower, the coal merchant in Queen Street, or right along Charles Street, passing Howlett’s the hardware dealer to reach another branch of the Tring Co-operative Society.
