More about this scene

The building dates from c1450 and has been an inn since at least 1580. It had been covered by a brick façade, which was removed in 1935. The posts on either side of the doorway have initials for the Drew family and the date 1649. Two cottages to the right were rebuilt in the 1960s and incorporated into the hotel, retaining the chimneystack.

I vaguely remember visiting the corner shop seventy years ago. Not sure if the owners were relatives or just friends of my grandparents. If anyone knows who lived there and operated the shop in the 1940s the information would be appreciated. David, in Napa, California
