Description: | This is Regent Street in 1910-15 before the area was redeveloped in the 1920s. Even then it was a major shopping centre renowned for its quality goods.
People were attracted from the suburbs and surrounding countryside, and came into London on the new buses and trains. After 1900, a wider section of society shopped in the street, including an increasing number of women. This was thanks both to the newly increased spending power of the middle classes, and to changing social customs.
