More about this scene
Now the Dragon Hotel, the Dragon Inn (left) first opened in 1740. Its licensee in 1898 was Elizabeth Davies. Outside it stands a row of watering cans on a sheet of corrugated iron balanced between two barrels. Farther along are more barrels and boxes. Outside the lower building next door, now a private residence, is a display of spades. On the other side of the road is a lamp post advertising the post office. Today the post office is gone, but a modern, larger lamp of similar style is attached to the wall of Carlton House, No 25. The ivy-clad house on the right, Latham House, retains its railings but has lost the ivy.
