Description:Pictured is no. 21, Foregate Street, Stafford, which is thought to be a Georgian building. In 1915, it was home to the Red Cross Military Hospital staffed with V.A.D. nurses. It has been demolished since this photograph was taken. On the left is a part-view of 'The David Hollin Nurses Home' dating from 1927, also demolished. It was adjacent to the right side of Staffordshire General Infirmary (SGI). The van parked in the archway belonged to 'Caroline Electric' who, at this time had premises over the road at No. 59 opposite the SGI. By 1967, they had moved to 33 Crabbery Street where they sold white goods and sewing machines. Their first shop opened in 1959 in Caroline Street, Longton.
