More about this scene

To the left we can see G Hilton's confectioner's and grocer's shop. On the right is the post office, its thatched roof replaced by corrugated iron. Raikes Road had many thatched dwellings; as late as 1961, when alterations were afoot, one cottage proved to be a Fylde cruck-built cottage with clay and straw walls from the 16th century. In the distance are Bleasdale Fells.
