More about this scene
On the left stands Barclays Bank. This was built around 1905 on the site of the London and South West Bank, which in turn had replaced a Tudor farm house. The High Street was the main road from London to Birmingham, and a toll gate was erected in 1769. This continued to operate until 1872. On the right, close to the tail of the sleek American Plymouth car, is a small green on which stood the village pump. As it was close to the graveyard, the local people used to comment that they were 'drinking their ancestors in solution'.
