More about this scene

Again cars dominate the 1921 scene, this being the main A4 London to Bath road until the by-pass was built in the 1960s. The west-bound traffic, overtaking a parked vehicle and cyclist, is rather hogging the middle of the road. The area in front of the Bear Hotel has now been extended into the road to provide space for outside tables.
