More about this scene

Porlock's High Street has changed little, and traffic on the A39 has not increased enough to initiate a long proposed by-pass. The café with the balcony, now the Countryman Restaurant, was originally the Methodist chapel, and Smith's garage, beyond, is also a restaurant, taking trade from passing tourists.
