More about this scene

Famous for its many antique shops, which line the broad High Street, Hungerford was given a fishing charter and a brass drinking-horn by John of Gaunt (the Duke of Lancaster), who granted fishing rights to the townsfolk. The Kennet, running through Hungerford, was once described as 'a fayre river which yieldeth store of fishes and especiallie trowtes'. This photograph of Hungerford High Street shows the ornately-decorated Victorian town hall on the right of this picture. Many of the Georgian houses and shops are built in the red and blue brick so typical of Berkshire.
