Williams and Badcock
Taken in about the 1920's this is Williams and Badcock. Their shop was on the Terrace in Market Jew Street but I'm not sure exactly where.... Maybe you can help?
Update info from Martha (registered user)
I asked my elderly aunt and she said it was at the top of the Terrace where the jewellery shop is now (formerly Victoria Wine)
One of the things they used to sell was toerag which was salt cod boiled and often eaten for breakfast !
Sounds delightful
I think some of the awning support rods had barbed wire along them to deter any swingers.
 
Barbed wire is now illegal (as is broken glass set in wall copings), except for government departments that can use razor wire.
 
Funnily enough salt cod is very common here in Bermuda. Traditional Bermuda breakfast (usually eaten on Sunday morning) is Cod Fish and Bananas eaten with sliced avocado and a tomato sauce. It is actually very good and not as awful as it sounds!
