More about this scene

The cyclist is about to overtake a dented Morris 8 saloon. Nearby is the church graveyard. When it became full, a new cemetery opened in 1942, and Mr Latimer was appointed as gravedigger; it is ironic that he died before he could start work and was the first person to be buried there. Today the parish of Fair Oak incorporates Horton Heath, and its population is now over 8,000.
