More about this scene
The funnel effect of the town's main street in 1965 can be fully appreciated in this photograph. The Black Lion public house on the right was originally on the opposite side of the road. In 1793, the site that now carries the name was known as the Sow and Pigs. In 1800 it became private housing, and it was another 90 years before the building was returned to the inn trade as the Black Lion. An entrance at the side of the building leads to the original stable yard.
