1930s Queens's Road East (Queensway)

There are scaffolds on Block G. On the 1901 photo this block has a ground floor only, and in (around) 1935, two more storeys were added.

Hi Klaus,

In the description of the 1900 opening  of the Soldier's Club that Moddsey found, it says:

On the ground floor, a bar is provided. Upstairs there are dining, billiards and reading rooms.

So there was at least one more floor. The upper floors were set back from the street, so I think that's why they're not seen in the 1901 photo.

Hi David,

obviously, upper floors were there already from the beginning. As there are scaffolds on the 1930s photo, I now think they added the balconies as seen here:
