More about this scene

At the junction with Station Road, Frith's photographer stands by the war memorial with the churchyard behind him. The tall building behind Underwood's shop (now The Corner Shop) is the old Harcourt shoe factory - recently converted into flats and a sound studio. The Earls Barton Museum is hidden by the trees on the right. The museum is housed in what was once Barker's shoe factory.
