More about this scene
The half-timbered Kings Head inn in the background recalls the coaching age: Northleach was on the main London, Oxford, Gloucester and South Wales road (the main A40 road now by-passes the town). The square here is still a place for coaches, as we can see from the flourishing lines of the coach to the far right of the picture. The timber stocks supply another glimpse of historic ways: miscreants were bundled into the pillory to receive their punishment and supply enjoyment to the locals, who would be throwing rotten fruit, vegetables and eggs.
