Gainsborough Shopfronts: Swinton Insurance on "Lander's Corner"

Swinton Insurance occupies this unit on the corner of Gainsborough's Church and Market Streets. Previously occupied by Reg Hall, a local insurance broker, this area is often referred to as "Lander's Corner", because of the well-known baker's shop that was in this area from the 1960s right up until the early 1980s.

This curved modernist arcade was built in around 1963/4 when the original shops that stood on this site were demolished to allow Church Street to be (significantly) widened.
