More about this scene

The White Horse Inn (facing us, left) is now the last of seven public houses that are said to have once traded in the village; it is remarkable that the local population of so many small Welsh villages like this could support so many hostelries. The great movement of labour away from agriculture and related trades has had a disastrous effect on the viability of what was often the hub of village life.
