More about this scene
This charming post office is still here, and overlooks the green and the beck. Opposite is the Grey Horse Inn, and on Church Lane is Glencoe Cottage of 1874, with a passage from the Psalms on a corner tablet. During the war Scotch Farm was taken over by the RAF, and developed as an airfield from October 1941. Later it was used by the US Air Force up to 1958, and then after closure was rescued in 1983 and transformed into the popular Yorkshire Air Museum.
