Summary edit

Description
English: This image was scanned by me from a 'quarter-plate' black&white negative glass photographic plate, found in my late father's possessions. The photograph will have been taken by HIS father, Ernest James Griffin (1877–1959). The subject is a north-facing view of the High Street in the Hertfordshire town of Hoddesdon where he grew up. In the absence of any metadata whatsoever, I am guessing the date to be around the year 1900. The modern shop "Peacocks" is now on the site of the Bull Hotel.

I created the scan of this unidentified plate which had come into my possession, and took an educated guess as to the subject which was subsequently confirmed by use of Google Street View.
