PhotographerLeo MorelDescriptionMain Street, Upper Hutt, east side, showing eastern side of Baigent Motors frontage with Europa and Plume petrol pumps visible on footpath and advertising for Shell, and western part of Benge's Building, with the Red Robin Tea Rooms on the ground floor. The car is a 1947 Chevrolet.
Red Robin advertising includes 'Red Robin Luncheon & Tea Rooms' and 'Frosty Jack: the hygienic food, ice cream'.
One window has a sign for 'Clyde Tea Rooms'. The Clydes owned the Red Robin Tea Rooms, and possibly lived in the upper floor of the building.
The image immediately to the north of this photograph is missing, but would have shown Mrs Kirk's book shop on the ground floor, on the corner of Russell Street.Date takenJan. 1948
