More about this scene

The sign 'Luncheons and Teas' on the right, just beyond the White Hart, advertises the Two Sisters Café, which from 1939 to 1949 was also a guest house. Further on, the three-storey brick building has been a draper's shop for some 170 years; its name Commerce House records that this was where Odiham's first bank opened in 1806.
