More about this scene
Two women discuss some hot local gossip, perhaps. The enamel signs would make a modern bric-a-brac dealer drool, and the lorry is loaded with hessian grain sacks open to the sun. Meanwhile, cattle further up the road amble in the road at their own leisurely pace. The English-Welsh border runs right through the village, indeed it runs right through the middle of the Lion Hotel. When the quite recent Welsh ban on Sabbath day drinking was enforced, half the pub could serve alcohol and other was 'dry' on a Sunday. It must have been entertaining to witness!
