More about this scene

The mini-skirt had arrived in Galleywood. Fifteen years earlier, this scene would have looked very different: the houses and shops on the right were still open farmland. Barrett's General Stores had previously been Mr and Mrs Johnson's fish and chip shop. Both the shop and the hip-roofed cottage to the right have now gone. The main street, Watchhouse Road, may have taken its name from a lookout camp here at the time of the Napoleonic Wars.
