More about this scene
This is part of Old Leigh, with the railway on the right and the sea behind the buildings on the left. The main shopping centre has moved up the hill to Leigh Broadway but this High Street is still popular with its cafes, public houses and antiques shops. There is a quaint, old-world feel to this part of the town. At one time many of these buildings were in danger of demolition to make way for a new road. Fortunately the scheme was abandoned.
