On the left can be seen a sign which I am not sure what it says. I have enlarged it to see if it becomes clearer. Royal Stud of Electroic something or another. Any ideas what this is?
I can see Coxs in the distance and what is that building passed Coxs with what looks like a picture on the wall and writing on the roof looks like ?EUR’S. See enlargement below.

Hello This looks to me like an advert for Fremlins “Elephant ale” so possibly an off licence. I know there was one thereabouts up until at least the early 60s. The same brand was also sold on Jones parade Regards Sparrow
Totally agree with you Robin, in fact in a recent photo on the Archive site showing the Seaview Rd frontage of Cox’s Hotel(probably taken in the 60s) you can see the front window of the Cox’s Stores off-licence behind a car emerging from Dovercliff Rd onto South Parade.
Hello The sign on the roof might be MEUX’S. A London brewery that supplied Essex and home counties. Can’t be sure . Regards Sparrow
I think you could be right
Sutherlands Amusements in the late 20’s, did have electricity, even though there was not mains electricity on the Island. Their source came from a 95 hp. Parson’s petrol engine coupled to a 500kW d.c. dynamo.
