Addendum to fake 30

Back in March, I noticed the fake frontage to the M&S store in the parade at Ashstead, just down the road from Epsom.

Yesterday evening, happening to glance up at the frontage to the M&S store in Epsom High Street, I realised that it was a bit odd too.

On closer inspection, I worked out that what it was that was odd. The upper part of the frontage really was old, say early twentieth century, probably just patched up a bit. But how they managed to attach the upper part of the old frontage to a relatively new building below and behind is another matter. Was it like one of those Edwardian office buildings in central London where they prop up the frontage with serious steel, strip everything else out and build the new building behind?

The rules committee ruled that I could not score a further fake for this snap. So fake 36 is going to have to wait for a bit longer.
