The interior of the electrical appliance shop, McLeod and Svendsen, located on the corner of Kimbolton Road and Manchester Square. The fashions (cloche hats and hemlines), suggest this photo was taken between 1925 and 1930. This photograph was supplied by Bernard Svendsen, whose father Albert Svendsen co-owned the shop from May 1923. The shop was sold in 1977 to Leader & Watt.

A window display in McLeod & Svendsen, an electrical appliance store once located on the corner of Kimbolton Road and Manchester Square. The exact date is unknown, but it is likely the photograph was taken during the late 1950's or the early 1960's, due to the PhiliShave electric razors and portable (transistor) radio advertising displayed. A note on the back of the photograph reads: McLeod & Svendsen's shop in the Square, Feilding. The frontage remains on new building in the Square today.
