More about this scene
We are looking southwards from Walnut Tree Corner, and London Road is deserted apart from the wagon standing outside the Gate public house (centre left). The Gate was originally one of a pair of cottages built by Samuel Legerton in 1830; the northernmost of the cottages was converted to the public house around 1843. All the wooden fences still stand today, although many of the cast iron railings have disappeared, probably as part of scrap metal collection during the two world wars. The building between the lamp post and the telegraph pole on the left was until recently a builders' hire shop, but is now Unwins off-licence.
