West side Good to see a telephone box still in existence. This row of shops, (included in Lansdowne House), which might once have been described as a "parade" is set back from the main road and allows parking. It was probably built in the 1940s/50s and clearly includes residential accommodation. Some charity shops are evident. The large tree may be an acacia from the leaves, but these are notorious for growing from "suckers" and spreading, so I am doubtful. There are variegated holly trees in the containers.
