More about this scene
Note the old-style telephone box (left). Most of these cottages were built at the turn of the 19th century, when stops at Robinson's Tea Rooms were part of the popular wagonette trips. In those days the River Wyre had a good supply of salmon, which was usually on the menu at Robinson's. The members of St Michael's Sparrow Club were farmers backed by the Rural District Council; they made war on sparrows for damaging crops and building nests in thatch.
