More about this scene
Piddletown was the official name of the village until Major-General Charles William Thompson succeeded in having it changed after the Great War. Here we see Back Street (left) and the Square (right), with the flamboyant Victorian double shop fronts of the grocers G H Stephens & Company on the corner (centre). One famous person to live in Puddletown was the broadcaster Ralph Wightman, whose home was in the Square. This view is eastwards from Tudor Cottage and Mill Street; the trees are in Ilsington House grounds and beside the parish church (right- hand background).
