The Ship Inn on Soar Lane prior to opening time. Presumably many of its customers in the past will have been employees in nearby hosiery factories, like the one behind it perhaps? A stretch of the Grand Union canal lies 2-3 minutes walk from here behind the photographer and in the opposite direction (1 min walk away) is the Northgate St/Highcross St junction with Sanvey Gate, all of which sit just outside the inner ring road.
