Quorn, High Street c.1965

More about this scene
Quorn ('Querendon' in 1209) means 'the hill from where millstones were obtained'. The village has acquired international fame as the home of the Quorn Hunt; its founder Hugo Meynell took residence in 1753 at Quorn Hall (now an educational centre). In this photograph the main road looks quiet, but traffic between Leicester and Loughborough would, in a few short years, build to a crescendo through the narrow streets. Now relief has come with the A6 bypassing the village. There have been losses, but the view remains recognisable.
