More about this scene
On the right are the Edwardian buildings occupied by Marlow's from 1925 to 1975, Watson's Post Office and the Queens Head. This had been the Norfolk Coffee House; it was rebuilt in white brick in 1838. On the left all the buildings are timber-framed, although several have later brick frontages: for example the grocer's shop, now Gavin Ashley's, is dated 1835. The awning indicates Land's High Class Furnishings and Removals, which were established here between 1905 and 1981. The wooden gilded Hovis sign is on Berry's the bakers, trading here from 1906 to 1999, and noted for their quality bread made in a Georgian oven.
