More about this scene
It is said that the first rumblings of the Luddite Movement were felt in Anstey with the breaking of the knitting frames; the village had expanded rapidly to accommodate an influx of workers. The picture clearly shows Anstey's 19th-century growth with a quite picturesque composition of tiled roofs and stacks. The National Provincial Bank, as banks do, took advantage of this 'additional wealth', followed later by Doug Taylor's garage and the inevitable council roundabout.
