More about this scene

Here the photographer looks along West Street away from the Market Place. In the foreground are cottages, some thatched, while in the distance are some more urban later houses of two and three full storeys. The thatched cottages of one or one and a half storeys with dormer windows are more villagey in character: there are remarkably few thatched houses in towns, but in Alford even the Manor House is thatched.
