More about this scene
We are looking north towards the church. On the right, we can see the carriage entrance of the Red Lion next to Carter's the jeweller's; further on is Barclays Bank, which was re-fronted in 1822. The high gable on the left is Helions House surgery, now Woolworth's. The pushchair is outside Huggins's shop.

The only school in Haverhill was The Cangle. The new secondary modern, now known as Castle Manor, had not yet been finished.
