More about this scene
The Bell and Crown (left) is a very old inn dating back to 1675, and it stands on the old coaching road from London to Barnstaple. In his book 'The Inns and Taverns of Warminster', Reg Cundick writes: 'It used to have its own brewhouse. At one time the landlord had the right to put drunks in stocks on the other side of the road'. In the distance we can see Sambourne Hospital, formerly the Union Workhouse, built in 1836; it is now a residential development called The Beeches. More information on this can be found in the Dewey Museum and in the book 'Warminster in the Twentieth Century' by Celia Lane and Pauline White.
