More about this scene
Appleton's Farm was built in the 15th century. One of the Appletons, Sir Henry, engaged the Dutch engineers who worked on the Thames seawalls 300 years ago. During the 20th century, the farm became the Old Plough House Refreshment Rooms. It is still a well-known restaurant in this low- lying fenland area.

I can remember the school trips to Norfolk and Hampton Court. Mrs Last put herself out to arrange all of this and on a shoestring budget. She was a marvellous person.
