More about this scene

The village lies three miles inland along what passes for a ridge in this flat country between the Wolds and the sand dunes.

I recall many visits to the Rose Bowl Cafe as a small child in the 1960s. We used to walk from Anderby Creek where we used to spend summer holidays. There used to be a Mynah Bird I think.
