Sherborne, The Green c.1965

More about this scene
This was the site of much activity, including horse fairs, which continued regularly until the mid-20th century. The Green is today architecturally unchanged from this photograph. The large building in the centre was formerly known as the Angel Inn and, as the sign above the door still testifies today, was 'Licensed To Let Post Horses'. This was on the main route to London, Bath, Bristol, Exeter and Cornwall and was, naturally, very busy. The building eventually became a boarding house for Sherborne School. The traffic island marks the site of a wartime water tank.
