More about this scene

A postman on his round chats to two local residents opposite the King's Head pub (right), where empty barrels and several crates of bottles await collection by the brewer's dray. This old community, and the one at Felday, were joined together into the village of Holmbury St Mary in 1879,when wealthy Victorians popularised them and built large houses in the surrounding pine forests. But both hamlets had been prominent in the smuggling trade earlier in the century.
