More about this scene
The tiny hamlet of Leigh lies on the east bank of the River Severn, perched on land just high enough to raise it from the floodplain, a few miles north-west of Cheltenham. Although this half-timbered building is called Cyder Press Farm to this day, the great stones in the foreground are actually those of a cider mill. In days gone by village communities worked together come September time to collect apples for cider making and pears for perry.
