We aren't sure yet but we think this photo might be taken in front of The American Soda Fountain. 1. The windows and pediment appear to match. 2. Alexander Trail was the proprietor of the Soda Fountain. 3. This photo is from the 1920s and we know there were Traill run businesses from 1925 to 1937 but not the earliest location.

Part of a streetscape taken in 1932 - shows the American Soda Fountain (formerly the Union Hotel) run by A Traill & Sons. The building occupied the site from 3 to 9a High Street.

Part of a similar streetscape taken in the 1940s - now showing shops.

Detail from an Ash Bester postcard from around 1956.

A still from the short film "Valley of the Derwent" produced in 1958. State aerial photos show that by 1963 the building had been demolished and replaced with the current single storey shops.
