More about this scene

The year after this picture was taken, a new line for the road was proposed. The fronts of Yew Tree Cottage and the Prince of Wales, seen here, were to be made flush with the road, which was also to go through the next two cottages. Needless to say, there were many protests, and the idea seems to have been dropped.
