A group of men are standing outside the shop which is decorated with lights, trees branches and foliage. The building appears to be on a corner site.
A man is lifting a bicycle up onto the pavement in the extreme left of the image. Houses and buildings can be seen further along the street. An apparently three legged dog stands near the entrance to the gas company offices.
Photographer, unknown.
