More about this scene
The weatherboarded pair of buildings nearest the camera were once a pub called the Magpie & Horseshoes. The older section (with the bow windows) was built in 1577. It was in the hands of the Bessom family from the early 19th century until 1975. They ran a plumbing and decorating business here in the 20th century. The van belongs to Magee's Nurseries: 'Mushrooms & tomatoes—direct from the garden'.
