More about this scene
The High Street of the old village, now traffic calmed, has shops somewhat marred by security shutters, but in the 1950s all that was in the future. It is a curious contrast of building styles, ranging from the fine thatched stone house dated 1609 in the distance to the mundane brick of John Manners Ltd, now an engineering supplies store. The trees and gate piers on the right have been replaced by a 1960s close of old people's bungalows, named St Andrew's Walk. The modern town centre is well to the west around Corporation Street and the Market Square.
