More about this scene

Not far from Ringwood, Burley is reputedly the jewel in the crown of the New Forest. These two locals are standing just in front of the photographer, and seem engrossed in the cricket match. Does one of them own the car that the lady is waiting in? Nearby there is a village school and a couple of hotels, Moorhill House Hotel and Burley Manor Hotel.
