Little Walsingham, The Black Lion Hotel 1929

More about this scene
This town is often over-run by pilgrims and tourists, but the local inhabitants still require basic essentials, even coal (left) and petrol for their vehicles (right). The Black Lion hotel is over 400 years old; although holy water is available from the spring in the shrine of Our Lady, even visiting clergy have been known to enjoy a chat over a glass of ale in this establishment. It was the most well-known non-monastic inn in Walsingham. Its construction is interesting, particularly the roof, which has a double queen-post structure.
