More about this scene
A ballad of 1843 refers to the building on the left as 'the Ugly Black Lion'. In the late 1890s, the Black Lion public house was extensively altered and restored by Mr Glasscock; by removing the plaster and exposing the windows, he attempted to return the building to its original 1600s style. On the opposite side of Bridge Street stands the Star Tavern, which was first recorded in 1616. A nice 1920 Ford Model T stands outside the tobacconist (left), and the lady in the foreground prepares to rest her bicycle against a cast iron gas lamp standard.
