More about this scene

The café is in the building at the top of the lane, with a post office and grocer's under the signs. Two miles from Clitheroe and near the River Hodder, the village has been subject to little change over the years. The Roman bridge can be found down a footpath near the post office, and Fairy Bridge is north of the Red Pump Inn.
