More about this scene

If we leave Daventry eastwards on the London turnpike, we arrive at Road Weedon, the portion of Weedon village on the main road. It is here that the turnpike rejoins the Roman road called Watling Street. This view along Church Street in Lower Weedon is little changed except for Cowie's general stores (centre), which was replaced by a modern mini- supermarket in the 1960s. The alleyway to the left used to lead to the Roman Catholic Church, before it was rebuilt in West Street behind the photographer.
