More about this scene

This is another scene that has little changed: there is still a chemist's and candy shop on the right and garage on the left, minus petrol pumps. Leach's shops (left) became the library and now three shops. At the end of the street, with the tall chimney, is the 15th-century Doverhay Manor, now Porlock's museum.
