Railway Road - Early 1920's

An early 1920's view of Railway Road, looking out across Salford Bridge onto Holme Street and the Theatre Royal on the corner of Ainsworth Street in the distance. To the right, the old properties that led into New Water Street and extreme right, the curve of the Bay Horse Hotel.
Don't the chaps in the foreground look smart, in their suits and hats ?
