More about this scene
When this view was taken, the road was the A30 to the west country and already notorious for delays during the summer. Today, there is no caravan park, the upper storey timber cladding has gone, and the pub's name has changed to Jack-in-the-Green. Where our photographer was standing there is now a speed camera.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I grew up in the house next to the Crown and Sceptre, I recall sitting on the wall outside the house counting the cars go by. I went to school in Rockbeare and remember the long walk to school. My teachers were Miss Wilsdon and Miss Bennett. Such a long time ago now. I also remember the local Dr, Dr Gipson, having his surgery in Mrs Finnimores front room.
