More about this scene

The various advertisements outside the newsagent's on the right add to the period flavour of this village centre scene. The Daily Dispatch is long gone, but the Westmorland Gazette endures, as it has for more than 150 years. A coffee shop now occupies the 'pure ices' premises beyond, whilst the gable-fronted building has since become a book shop.
