More about this scene
Barton-upon-Humber was once a rival to the port of Kingston upon Hull on the other side of the river Humber, but it is now a much smaller settlement, and the Market Place confirms that most definitely. Two buildings at the far end have been demolished for road widening, and even the White Lion (right), which became a pub in 1558, was taken over in about 1970 and is now an extension to The China Shop. The Barton Corn Exchange (the arched building on the left), built in 1853 and opened in 1854, is still there and in use, and in the far corner is an Italian restaurant. The NatWest bank building, built in 1913, is on the left. The Market Place is now mainly a car park and pathway.
